Doors are the ultimate beginning to a fairytale. A door has an air of mystery about it; it is intriguing to know what may lie behind it.
In Malta, you will have plenty of opportunities to imagine your own fairytale story. Down every quaint street, and around every corner, you will find the most exquisite doors. All brightly coloured, and hand carved, and matched perfectly to the Maltease stone, which when lit up by the sun creates the most incredible scene.
I loved imagining the pages in my fairytale story by wandering around and looking at a variety of doors.
The doors in Malta and Gozo can also make a great backdrop for your perfect Instagram picture, and you’ll see plenty of people modelling outside a variety of doorways.
Here are some of the best doors I found whilst in Malta and Gozo, and where you can find them.
Malta
Mdina
Mdina (pronouced Mm-dee-na) will be where you can get to channel you inner instagram model. The old city is small, but there are incredble doors around every corner.
Where to find me
I don’t have an acurate address for this place, but it is close to St Paul’s Cathedral in the centre.
That blue door
If you have looked up photos of Mdina. Chances are, you will have seen this blue door. It is possibly the most photographed in the city. It is stunning, with bright purple flowers growing on the wall, and screaming out to be captured.
Of course, I had to have a shot here.
Where to find me
This door is found on the same alleyway as Coogi’s Restaurant & Tea Garden.

Valletta
The capital city Valletta is so vast, and has many little streets to discover (as well as a lot of hills). So I can’t offer an exact location of these doors. However, if you are in the city, you will see a number of amazing ones. Just side step into one of the many quaint streets, and they shall be found.
Gozo
The island of Gozo is a mecca for photographers. Its dainty little cobbled streets, friendly locals, stunning bays and buildings all add to its charm.
Having stayed in Gozo for 2 nights, I felt like a real local. The vibe here is on point.

Whatever your reason for visiting Malta and Gozo, make sure you take time to stop and appreciate some ofthe doors.
Abbi this is such a wonderful collection of photos!
The architecture is definitely one of the things that first attracted me to Malta. Now it’s where I call home!
Thanks for sharing your love of doors with us. 🙂
