About Notte Bianca in Malta

One night in Valletta

Notte Bianca is Valletta's all-night arts festival, usually held on an evening in early October. Museums, palaces and state buildings open their doors late, many for free, and the streets and squares host music, theatre, dance and installations.

Good to know

  • It gets very busy after 9pm: start with the buildings you most want to see.
  • Wear comfortable shoes: Valletta is all steps.
  • Buses run late, but expect queues at the terminus.
