There are attractions of every kind in Gozo – historical and natural, religious and family-friendly. The coastline is spectacular with weird and wonderful rock formations lapped by the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean, and the islands 7000-year history makes its mark from cliff-tops to villages, valleys to the great bastion walls of the capital’s Citadel.
The villages are the heart of Gozo with their pretty church squares and timeless tranquility. They offer a wonderful respite from modern life – and a taste of Gozo as it has been for centuries.
All roads in Gozo lead to the capital, ir-Rabat , and, rising above it, the fortified Citadel. Ir-Rabat (Victoria) is not just the geographic centre of Gozo, but also the centre of its commercial, social and cultural life – as well as its history. The town combines the bustle of the market with a relaxed and sociable atmosphere – particularly in the main square, officially called Independence Square but known to all as It-Tokk.
Events are always unfolding, with concerts and exhibitions held alongside some less likely attractions including fully-staged Italian opera in the island’s two theatres and the traditional horse racing in the main streets, in summer.
