Valletta, Malta

Ten days built around a march that draws a few thousand rather than a few million, in a country where marriage equality has been law since 2017 and the President and Prime Minister walk in the front row. Valletta's honey-coloured limestone and the Grand Harbour do the rest — small enough to feel personal, official enough to feel settled.

Where to Stay

• The Phoenicia Malta — at the city gate, gardens running down toward the harbour.

• iniala Harbour House — a handful of rooms inside a row of restored townhouses, on the bastion walls.
