School Trips to Malta
In the centre of the Mediterranean lies Malta; an archipelago famous for its rich and diverse history.
It is Malta’s past which makes it such a popular school trip destination. The archipelago’s position in the Mediterranean Basin made it an important naval base, meaning it has been held by several famous empires, civilisations, and kingdoms over the course of history, from the Greeks and Romans, to the Normans, Napoleon, and the British Empire.
And with architecture stretching back to the stone age, a popular tourism industry, and the perfect year-round climate, Malta is as interesting for its geographical themes as it is history.
Music tours to Malta are a popular choice, with the island’s array of picturesque villages, concert squares, and grand halls providing a beautiful setting for a group performance.
An educational visit to Malta therefore provides students with the opportunity to experience, witness, and learn about a wide range of subjects. If you would like to explore your options and learn more about organising a school trip to Malta, then please get in touch with one of our team on 0845 293 7970.

Valletta
Malta’s jewel and capital, filled with beautiful open squares and fascinating architecture, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Malta’s ancient and diverse past is on full display in the capital, and the city was justly awarded the European City of Culture for 2018.
Palace Square Valletta
The Palace Square is dominated by the Grand Master’s Palace and is centrally located within the capital city. This is a great, popular venue for live performances. The square is suitable for bands, choirs and orchestras, with plenty of space and seating facilities in the surrounding area.
Marsaxlokk Village
This traditional fishing village in South East Malta is a beautiful, picturesque setting for bands, choirs, and orchestras to perform.
Is-siggiewi Church
A place steeped in history, this imposing baroque church resides in a south-western Maltese village. Orchestras and choirs looking for a venue during a music tour of Malta will love the opportunity to perform here.
In-Naxxar Church
Music groups also have the opportunity to perform at the Church of the Nativity of Mary in Naxxar. The present church was built between 1616 and 1630.
Gozo
Gozo, the second-largest island of the Maltese archipelago, is an open history book. With ample evidence of stone-age settlers immigrating to the island for the first time in 5900 BC, the island is well known for its ancient ruins and represents a unique opportunity to learn about humanity at the dawn of civilisation.
