Perched on a hill above the island's capital, Victoria, the fortress offers a 360-degree panoramic view over all of Gozo and houses a Baroque cathedral as well as several small museums on the island's history within its walls.

Although the famous Azure Window collapsed in 2017, the coast at Dwejra still delights with the Inland Sea, a lagoon connected to the open sea by a natural rock tunnel that can be crossed by small boat, as well as excellent dive spots.

Gozo's largest and best-known sandy beach stands out for its unusually reddish-golden sand, surrounded by dunes and banana plantations, and ranks among the most beautiful natural beaches of the entire Maltese archipelago.
