Fort Manoel and Marsamxett Harbour

The stops

1. Fort Manoel — The island walk is free. The interior courtyard opens only on occasional open days.
2. Valletta / Upper Barrakka Gardens — Valletta, across the water, for Assassin's Creed's rooftops.

Planning it

Park in Gżira near the Manoel Island bridge and walk 10 to 15 minutes. The glacis and the footbridge give the best views of the walls.

Most of these places are a long bus ride apart. Our guide to renting a car in Malta covers parking in Valletta, the Gozo ferry and the road rules.
