A chance to relax and explore
The Congress runs from the afternoon of Thursday, 7 October, and runs through to Saturday, 9 October, leaving Sunday free to explore the baroque palaces, gardens and fortifications of Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The weather in October is typically warm, so you can kick back, sip a Kinnie (the national drink of Malta), and enjoy the tranquillity and hospitality of this wonderful island.
