On October 12, 2012, Valletta, Malta’s capital city was officially declared the European Capital of Culture (ECoC). During the past six years, the Valletta 2018 Foundation did a superb job to prepare the Maltese capital city for this European title of prestige.

Over 400 events will be taking place all around the islands of Malta and Gozo to celebrate all Maltese and European heritage as one people – unity in diversity.

The official opening of Valletta 2018 (V.18) is on Saturday, January 20th 1900hrs.

But in practice, what’s Valletta 2018 all about? Watch out this video.
