Luxury dog-friendly hotels in Valletta, Malta

You can easily spend your days just wandering, taking in the details or admiring sweeping vistas from the city wall (pro-tip: don't miss the Upper Barrakka Gardens for impress-your-friends Instagrams of the spectacular harbour view). And Malta's fascinating history – from stone-age hunters to Roman, Moorish and Norman conquests to more than 150 years of British rule – has left its mark everywhere: if you're a museum-goer, art fiend or architecture fan, you'll be in heaven in Valletta. (And if you're a sun seeker, too, rejoice, for Valletta's the sunniest capital city in all of Europe.)
