Getting around
Unlike other European capitals, which grew from small settlements into villages, towns and eventually cities, Valletta was built on a plan. Highly advanced for the time, the Valletta city plan was based on a grid system - a bit like modern-day Manhattan - with parallel streets criss-crossed at right angles. This makes the Maltese capital very easy to navigate. Valletta is small in size, and it is quite possible for most people to explore the whole city on foot. Get hold of a good street map - or use the one on your mobile device - and you can get around town without any problem.
