Is-Suq tal-Belt, Valletta's historic covered market, has been beautifully restored and now buzzes with energy. The ground floor is a traditional food market with fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, and fish, while the upper floor features artisanal food stalls, cafes, and a cooking school. Visitors can sample local specialties like pastizzi, honey, and cheese, or browse crafts and souvenirs. The market's iron-and-glass roof and lively atmosphere make it a favorite spot for both locals and tourists.

Don't miss

  • Taste fresh pastizzi (ricotta or pea-filled pastries) from a local vendor.
  • Browse the upper floor for artisanal products like Maltese honey, olive oil, and handmade crafts.
  • Watch chefs at work in the cooking school, which offers classes on Maltese cuisine.
