Meeting Point
At your Malta hotel or at the Valletta Waterfront by the Valletta cruise ship terminal
Meeting
Your guide will pick you up in a chauffeur-driven air-conditioned vehicle from your accommodation in Malta or from your cruise ship in Valletta's Grand Harbour.
Mdina
The medieval fortified city of Mdina is Malta’s former capital city. As we walk through the narrow, winding streets, dating back to medieval times, we are led to the imposing bastions, commanding a magnificent panorama of the island. On the way there, you will discover different styles of architecture, including Siculo-Norman palaces and other baroque buildings of great historical importance. Time stands still in this ‘Silent City’ which is a film-maker’s paradise. Depending on the amount of time you wish to spend in Mdina, you may visit some of the following sites:
- Mdina Cathedral and Museum: appreciate the Cathedral's colourful inlaid marble floor, frescoed ceiling, a plethora of other marvellous features and Museum's fine silverware, paintings, rare coins, and prints and engravings by Albrecht Dürer.
- Palazzo Falson, a 13th-century mansion filled with works of art and exquisite decoration
- Fontanella Tea Garden, famous for its traditional homemade cakes and food, perched on Mdina's fortified walls with panoramic views covering most of the island
Valletta
Walking through the vibrant streets of Valletta, Malta's capital, will allow you to discover the beauty and charm of the fortified city built by the Knights in 1566. The Order of St. John ruled over the islands for 268 years and left a unique cultural legacy of which Valletta is the prime example and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Depending on the amount of time you wish to spend in Valletta, you may visit some of the following sites:
- Upper Barrakka Gardens, with breathtaking views of the Grand Harbour
- St. John’s Co-Cathedral, including the Caravaggio masterpieces in the Oratory, the Flemish tapestries and the church museum. The Co-Cathedral houses one of the most beautiful marble inlaid floors in the world.
- Grand Masters’ Palace and the recently restored St. George’s Square
- the Malta Experience, an audiovisual show where Malta’s history throughout the centuries is brought back to life.
End of the tour
At the end of the tour your guide will drop you off in a chauffeur-driven air-conditioned vehicle at your accommodation in Malta or your cruise ship in Valletta's Grand Harbour.
