- Viewpoint
- Favor the classic elevated viewpoint from across the harbor (such as from Sliema looking across Marsamxett Harbour or from the Three Cities across Grand Harbour), showing the sheer honey-limestone bastions rising from the water, the famous dome of Mount Carmel and spire of St. Paul's anchoring the middle-ground, and the Mediterranean horizon in the background.
- Palette
- Green should be the predominant color, especially in the landscaped gardens of Upper and Lower Barrakka, Hastings Gardens, and the distinctive olive-green painted wooden balconies (gallariji).
- Guarded against
- Not a generic Mediterranean island town
