Attard

Attard is a beautiful old town that is a stark contrast to the busier resort towns of Buggiba and Sliema. The town is situated halfway between the capital city of Valletta and the ancient town of Mdina, and is also a great base if you are looking to explore the rest of the island. It’s central location resulted in many wealthy families choosing the town as a place to build their grand houses and villas at the start of the 20th century.  These impressive buildings and gardens make Attard a beautiful place to potter around in the sunshine. If you are looking for a holiday where you can learn about local Malta life and the rich history of this wonderful country, then Attard could be the perfect destination for you.
