Culture Tips for Valletta

Skip the crowded palace museums and head to Fort St. Elmo for the National War Museum. €10 entry gets you Malta's incredible WWII resistance story, including the George Cross awarded to the entire island. The fort itself is stunning 16th-century architecture. Open 9am-5pm daily. Walk there from Upper Barrakka Gardens in 15 minutes through quiet backstreets. Much more meaningful than the typical cathedral tour.
