Malta & Gozo: Your Week Ahead (June 22-28, 2026)
As the sun begins to set over the ancient walls of Mdina, casting a warm glow on the historic city, you can’t help but wonder what adventures await in the coming week. From the bustling streets of Valletta to the serene landscapes of Gozo, Malta’s islands are brimming with excitement. Let’s dive into what’s on this week, from June 22 to 28, 2026.
Art and Culture in Valletta
Kicking off the week, the Muza in Valletta is hosting a captivating exhibition, “Malta: A Tale of Two Islands.” This multimedia experience explores the unique history and culture of both Malta and Gozo, blending art, history, and technology. Don’t miss the interactive 3D map of the islands – it’s a must-see!
For music lovers, the Teatru Rjal is presenting a series of classical concerts throughout the week. On June 24, the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra will perform a stunning repertoire, including works by local composer Alexei Shor. Tickets are selling fast, so book yours now!
Foodie Delights in Marsaxlokk
If you’re a foodie, you won’t want to miss the Marsaxlokk Seafood Festival on June 26. This vibrant event transforms the picturesque fishing village into a culinary paradise. Indulge in fresh seafood dishes, from traditional Maltese ‘lampuki’ to innovative seafood tapas. Wash it all down with a glass of local wine or traditional ‘Kinnie’ – a bittersweet orange drink.
After feasting, take a leisurely stroll around the colorful boats in the harbor. It’s the perfect way to digest and enjoy the laid-back atmosphere.
Nature and Adventure in Gozo
For those seeking a taste of adventure, head to Gozo and explore the Azure Window – but hurry, as it’s set to disappear in a few years due to coastal erosion. This iconic natural arch offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and is a must-visit before it’s gone.
After taking in the Azure Window, hike up to the nearby Ta’ Cenc Cliffs. The panoramic views from the top are simply awe-inspiring. Keep an eye out for the rare Maltese bee, which calls the cliffs home.
