Discover 7,000 years of Maltese history in one unforgettable experience. The Malta Experience is an award‑winning audio‑visual show that brings to life the dramatic storey of the Maltese Islands. Available in 17 languages, this educational, informative, and entertaining production offers the perfect introduction to Malta’s rich heritage.

Presented in a purpose‑built panoramic auditorium, the show runs for approximately 45 minutes and chronicles the islands’ extraordinary journey through time—from ancient civilisations and epic battles to resilience, survival, and prosperity. Through stunning imagery and gripping narration, it captures the spirit of a small island nation that has overcome immense challenges. Since its opening, the show has enthralled over four million visitors and remains the island’s premier audio‑visual attraction.

After the show, visitors are invited to explore La Sacra Infermeria, the Holy Infirmary of the Knights of St. John, with a guided tour lasting approximately 30 minutes. While the Knights are famous for repelling invasions and their military exploits, their origins were rooted in caring for the sick. For more than 400 years, La Sacra Infermeria served as one of Europe’s finest hospitals. Its historic walls have witnessed centuries of healing and hardship, medical innovation and dedication, triumph and tragedy, revealing a powerful and noble legacy.

Following your visit, you can browse the souvenir shop, where you’ll find a wide range of gifts and locally made handicrafts, including silver filigree jewellery, hand‑blown decorative glass, Gozo lace, and books celebrating Malta’s rich history and traditions.

You can also opt to relax at The St. Elmo Café & Bistro, beautifully perched on Valletta’s bastions and overlooking the magnificent Grand Harbour. The menu includes a selection of sandwiches, salads, pasta, and grilled dishes, making it an ideal spot for a refreshing drink or a relaxed meal while watching cruise liners glide by.
