When the visibility is good you can also see Mount Etna quite clearly. Isn’t that great?
8. Top of the World
Malta’s very own make-out spot is also great for stargazing. Who knew?
Għargħur’s answer to every 90s American movie is the perfect spot to chill out and look up at the skies with your favourite humans. Chances are that you’ll have company, but honestly, who cares?
9. Ġnejna
A favourite among swimmers and hikers. Ġnejna is one of those super far away lands which take ages to reach by car but are still totally worth it.

It’s kind of super pebbly though so if you’re planning on lying on the floor take a towel with you. Trust us.
12. Baħrija
This cool spot in the limits of Rabat offers ample hikespace and comfort. You can snack your night away with coffee and food as you stare at the stars.
This is one of the few places on our island which remains untouched, making it also one of the prettiest.
