There’s a lot to get excited about on the ’gram if you’re searching for Malta. Crystal clear water, brightly coloured boats, sandcastle-like rock formations – it’s a wonderland for photographers! And, if you’ve never been to this English-speaking destination, Instagram is a great place to get started for some travel inspiration. So if you’re a true Insta-addict, don’t miss the most instagrammed spots when you study English in Malta.
10. The Blue Lagoon | #bluelagoonmalta – 3,957 posts
Gone but not forgotten, even after the collapse of the Azure Window in March 2017, it continues to be one of Malta’s most heavily-hashtagged sites. Located at the northern tip of Malta’s Gozo island, you can still appreciate the rugged sea cliffs where the window once was, and experienced divers can even check out the rocky remains of the Azure Window underwater!
3. The historic city of Mdina | #mdina: 121,744
Visiting historic Mdina is like stepping back in time. It’s impossible to talk about the city without mentioning its massive gate, which featured heavily in the TV series, Game of Thrones. Throw in cobblestone streets and walls crawling with flower-filled vines and you’ve got a super Instagram-friendly city!
2. Capital city Valletta | #valletta: 342,897
It’s no surprise that Malta’s capital rings in at the top of the list. From the sweeping views of the Upper Barrakka Gardens to the breathtaking waterfront, Valletta deserves to be as heavily photographed as it is. If you’re wondering what the most photographed part of the city is, check out the corner of St Lucy and St Paul streets outside the San Paolo Naufrago wine bar – that’s what you call picturesque!
1. The island of Gozo | #gozo: 538,461
Coming in at number one is Malta’s northern island, Gozo. Full of take-your-breath-away beaches (Ramla Bay Beach, Hondoq Bay Beach, San Blas Beach), dramatic cliffs and the Ggantija Megalithic Temples, older than Stonehenge, Gozo is one place you don’t want to forget your camera or smartphone.
So, get camera ready and make your way to the most instagrammed spots in Malta – no filter required ;)
