Hi there my Steemit friends and followers!

When searching for an entry for today´s #cityscapephotography contest hosted by @juliank. I stumbled upon this panoramic view of Valletta that I haven´t shared with you yet.

Home to just some 6,500 people, Valletta is the capital city of the tiny Mediterranean country of Malta. Known as the southernmost capital city in Europe, Valletta is literally packed with astonishing architecture that ranges from Baroque to Mannerism and Neo-Classicism.

Since the city occupies just 0.8 sq km (0.3 sq mi), you encounter architectural jewels such as magnificent fortresses, impressive bastions or majestic cathedrals and palaces literally around every corner.

This micro-city is perfectly walkable and roaming its old narrow streets definitely feels like traveling back in time :)

Ha ! Právě hledám ubytování... Chci se na Maltu podívat v říjnu na pár dní s moji milou ženou ;)

Fakt? Tak to rád slyším, Malta je krásná :) Ale pokud máte radši klídek, tak doporučuji udělat si základnu na Gozu - ač je tento ostrůvek ještě menší než ten hlavní, je tam toho k vidění spousta. Taky je o dost levnější. Zkuste mrknout třeba na Victorii, Marsalforn nebo Xlendi ;)

Bohužel ve školním roce máme omezené možnosti, takže plánovat můžu maximálně prodloužený víkend. Mám levné letenky z Bratislavy, ale přílet bude někdy po 23. hodině, takže ubytování hledám někde v dosahu. Takže třeba to tam jen okoukneme a příště to klapne o prázdninách. Já už jsem měsíc chabrus na záda, takže zatím veškeré letní akce jsem musel zrušit.

Aha, tak to je jiná. Snad vám tedy vyjde aspoň jednodenní výlet na Gozo, trajektem tam jste za půl hodiny. Já tam nějakou dobu žil a fakt se mi tam líbilo víc než na hlavním ostrově.

Ty jsi tam byl dlouhodobě?
Myslíš, že bych z Tebe mohl někdy vytáhnout nějaké info? Třeba na steem.chat ?

Jo, klidně napiš. Byli jsme tam půl roku. Ale je to už nějaký pátek...

Beautiful Nice amazing photography I also love photography because photography is a name of art name of practice try to make something new something beautiful something different I like it because his relation to nature..

what a nice image. awesome skyline.

Thank you! :)

I LOVE Valleta @phortun. Great photograph. 😊

Thanks Gillian :) I am sure you have visited this charming little town many times... ;)

Actually I think I've only been there three times @phortun because, when we visit, we stay on Gozo and find more than enough to do there.

I would like to explore Malta a bit more though because there are a couple of places there I have been to. Mdina for example. 😊
