Malta is the smallest State of the European Union although, but with its population density ranked six worldwide. The southern European Islands consists of three larger inhabited islands, which are Malta, Gozo and Comino and multiple, smaller, uninhabited islands. Eleven thousand years ago, the entire island chain was still part of a link between Africa and Europe.

The city of Valletta, which comes from the 16th century and is one of the world heritage site, is the smallest capital in the European Union with something more than 7100 people. Malta's history dates from stone age temples on tombs and catacombs from the Roman period to investment and to military member of the legendary Knights, who gave the island its name. In 1530 from hands of the Spanish King, the order received the island until she got around 1800 under British rule, from which she 1964 independently declared himself. Since 1974, Malta is an independent Republic and since 2004 Member of the European Union.

In addition to Valletta, especially Birkikara, Qormi, mosta, Zabbar and Victoria are important starting points of the island. To explore Malta, a rental car offers an ideal way.
