I live in Malta, and frequently visit the Valletta waterfront. I used to work in the cruise line industry and it is commonly stated that the Valletta Harbour is one of the most breathtaking and scenic ports that cruise ships frequent. And they're right. The grand harbour is beautiful and the waterfront is no exception. Traditionally landscaped, with plenty of... More

i have been to the waterfront twice in total. First time was for the MJ tribute.. we headed to waterfront after wards for a coffee before heading home.

If you want to eat here then try to avoid when cruise ships are in as that is what you will be looking at. Also you get more attention and more care taken over the food. A very good restoration of the warehouses but remember it is basically a docking area for cruise ships and that is it's market More
