Valletta's fortified old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site walkable from the cruise terminal, centered on St. John's Co-Cathedral and its Caravaggio paintings. The Upper Barrakka Gardens offer views over the Grand Harbour, and excursions run to the ancient walled city of Mdina and the Blue Lagoon on nearby Comino island.
