Malta and Gozo tourism and pilgrimage sites

Malta and its sister island, Gozo, offer diverse opportunities for religious pilgrimage and natural exploration. Travelers following the footsteps of Saint Paul can visit significant sites including the St. Paul's Grotto in Rabat, the St. Paul's Shipwreck Church in Valletta, and the Ta’ Pinu sanctuary on Gozo.

Gozo provides a more tranquil, rural atmosphere compared to mainland Malta, featuring the Victoria Citadel, prehistoric temples, and rocky coastlines suitable for diving and trekking. Visitors can reach Gozo from Malta via a 25-minute traditional ferry from Ċirkewwa or a 45-minute fast ferry from Valletta.
