After our tour around the city walls by vehicle, we will explore the city on its lively streets.

These gardens, constructed by the Knights of St. John, offer views of the Grand Harbour and the three old cities surrounded by walls. We then continue our tour.

Our tour will take us to the central region of Malta, dominated by the historic Mdina Fortress. During our tour in Mdina, Malta’s former capital with historical significance, we will visit the city’s waters which offer a nearly panoramic 360-degree view of the island. Then we will visit the historic town of Mosta located in the heart of Malta. The town is famous for its impressive Rotunda Church (Mosta Dome). This church, with its massive dome built without supports in Europe, is considered miraculous due to a bomb that fell inside it during World War II but did not explode. After our tour, our next stop will be the Three Cities (Vittoriosa – Senglea – Cospicua). These cities feature narrow stone streets, structures surrounded by walls, baroque churches, and walking paths with sea views.

Each of them bears traces of the knights, Ottoman sieges, and Malta’s maritime history. After the tour, transfer back to our hotel. Overnight at the hotel.
After the breakfast we will have at the hotel, guests who wish can additionally join the Magnificent Marsaxlokk Tour’ (40 Euro).
