The Valletta Waterfront The Valletta Waterfront is a historic waterfront promenade located in Valletta, Malta. Originally built as a series of warehouses and stores in the 18th century, it served as a bustling hub for maritime trade. Over the years, it fell into disrepair but was revitalized in the late 20th century. Today, it is a vibrant destination with restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues, preserving its maritime heritage while offering a modern experience for visitors. Oh, Valletta Waterfront, where I dock with pride, A haven of beauty, where the seas collide. As a mighty cruise ship, I grace your grand bay, A moment of respite in my eternal voyage's sway. Your historic walls, weathered by time's embrace, Whisper tales of merchants and their maritime grace. From warehouses to promenades, a transformation so rare, You've blossomed into a haven, beyond compare. I watch as visitors dance upon your cobblestone, Exploring your treasures, each nook they've known. They wander through shops, adorned in vibrant array, Captivated by the spirit that graces their stay. The scent of delectable cuisine fills the air, As laughter and music create an atmosphere so fair. The sun-kissed horizon reflects upon your waves, A painting of tranquility, a haven for the brave. Oh, Valletta Waterfront, I admire your charm, A place where memories are born, safe from harm. As I depart your embrace, bound for the unknown, I carry a piece of you, forever in my heart's throne.

Superb place, With its nineteen historical 250-year-old warehouses, built by Grand Master Pinto at the height of the baroque period in Malta … stretching along the water’s edge and the historical Quay Wall where the Knights of St John and European merchants used to unload their wares … the impregnable Old Power Station that serves as a testimony to the eclectic and heroic history of the Grand Harbour … the Forni Stores, dating back to 1626 and constructed by Grand Master de Vilhena – the Valletta Waterfront invites you to discover its complete mix of retail, dining and leisure experiences. The Valletta Waterfront is also the gateway to Malta’s capital city, Valletta – a city built by gentlemen for gentlemen. In fact, as one of the most successful Mediterranean ports, the Port of Valletta welcomes more than half-a-million cruise passengers into this open air museum. All this comes with an added bonus – the majestic setting within the Grand Harbour, a natural deep water port, for many thousand of years the epicentre of Malta’s maritime activity, a truly exceptional and outstanding backdrop.

Really nice entrance to Valletta, we arrived through the port from a cruise ship, so was the first thing we saw. We picked up a free map when going through the port entrance which had a blue and a red route. We followed this to navigate through Valletta, as we chose to follow, I think, the red route which said it was 2.7km long. The first stop is left to the gift shops and the Hard Rock Cafe, which is currently the second smallest in the world, second only to one in Mexico, but don't be fooled as they make up for it in their friendliness, the food is great and also after 3pm, they have happy hour which is buy one get one free on cocktails too! Upon turning right from the port, we were faced with taxi drivers offering us a trip to the town centre for between 10 and 15 euros, don't take these, continue walking past the taxi and horse drawn carts as approx 500m further down is the lift which only costs 1 euro for a return trip and takes you straight up to the heart of Valletta.

I will recommend this place to visit after you visit Upper Garden or if you are looking for a place to eat your lunch or dinner. I visited waterfront during the lunch time on Sunday. Majority of the restaurant was fully packed by Maltese people. It seems like they just finished visiting the mass/Church and having a family lunchtime. We all say where the locals goes are the good place, so my boyfriend and I looked at what each restaurants offers. In the end, we ended up eating at the Crave and I will definitely recommend this place! The service was good and manager was very friendly (he is very detail to everything).

About this area, at the start, you can find a origami boat on the left side and if you walk further on the right side are the souvenir shops (closed on Sunday) and front of those stores are promoting stands such as touring buses and excursions (nobody is working on Sunday). Afterwards you can find different kind of restaurants and bars. There are so much that you will have a hard time choosing one (if you are one of Hardrock Cafe fans then there is Hardrock Cafe Bar, inside were modern and simple).

I did love my walk through passing all those shops and restaurants during lunchtime, because it gave me the impression of how lively it was. Also I love the facts all the doors and windows are painted in different colors and it gave the feeling of how charming it were. When you take a look at the sea side, you will see Isla and Kordin. Also couple of white boats lined up next to each other. If it's sunny all the restaurants' parasols are open so it might be difficult to see the splendid view but you can always walk further to end of the buildings so you can have open space to view both buildings and the cities.

Since I didn't take a visit in the Waterfront at night, I would love to have my dinner at the Crave or other restaurants. I heard that night lights are beautiful in Waterfront so I will be writing about Waterfront review at night after my holiday in...
