Rampila Restaurant Built by the Knights of St. John in the 16th century, Rampila Restaurant is set within the original defence bastions of Valletta, in a tunnel dating back to 1570. Wander down the stone stairs from the street and you’ll find yourself in an intimate domed dining room, and just off of this, a smaller bar stacked to the ceiling with fine wines. Through a glass panel in the floor you can see down into the wine cellar, carved straight out of the rock, but it’s probably easier to pick your poison from the carefully curated wine list

With a population of less than 3,000, the petite town of Għargħur is one of the oldest on the island, and unsurprisingly, home to some of the most traditional bars in Malta. Hidden down a back street in the centre of town is Cent’Anni, a relaxed wine bar that specialises in Italian-inspired cold cuts and Maltese wine. With parts of the original décor intact (including mosaic floors and antique furnishings) this is a great place to while away an evening.

Located behind an unassuming little house in ix-Xaghra, on the island of Gozo, you’ll find one of the most unusual caves in Malta, Ninu’s Cave. Discovered by local resident Joseph Rapa, the cave is accessed via a steep set of stairs inside a private family home. Guided tours are usually taken by a member of the family, who, for a small fee, will point out all the interesting geological features of the cave, such as some impressive stalactites and stalagmites.

A large subterranean burial chamber dug out of the rock and spread across three separate levels, the Hypogeum is undoubtedly one of the most impressive caves in Malta. First discovered in 1902, excavations continued up until 1911, with the many interconnected chambers and passageways finally opening to an intrigued public in 1908. Unfortunately, all this interest resulted in some damage to the Hypogeum’s delicate prehistoric wall paintings, meaning only ten people are now allowed in per day. Best get in there quick, then!
