  • Watch Maltese craftsmen at work in the famous Ta′Qali craft centre
  • Wander through the streets of the medieval capital of Mdina

Wander through the streets of the medieval capital of Mdina on this tour of Central Malta. With cars and horns banned, it is no wonder that this town has been dubbed the “Silent City.” Once a military garrison, Mdina now boasts large bastions that elicit the view of the city. Catacombs, quintessential to many Southern European cities, promise an eerie flavor to the afternoon.

Enjoy a characteristic lunch and then travel through the Botanic Gardens of San Anton. Finally watch Maltese craftsmen at work in the famous Ta’Qali craft centre. Don’t forget to shop for quaint indigenous products like pieces of pottery or filigree jewelry.

Itinerary

The tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel by an air-conditioned luxury coach. A multi-lingual guide (English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Russian and Scandanavian) will accompany you and give you more insights about the tour.

Walk the streets of this medieval town today known as the "silent city" whilst your guide unravels its rich history. Be shown its secretive narrow winding streets to discover its dwarfed doorways, till you reach the city's bastions from where a stunning almost 360 degrees panoramic view of the island can be seen.

The tour continues with a visit to The Catacombs of St Catald, quintessential too many Southern European cities, promise an eerie flavor to the afternoon.

The tour continues with a visit to the Dingli cliffs, known as the highest cliffs on the island. From here you can look out to the island of Filfla.

After a lunch break, our final stop will be to the botanic gardens of San Anton, these originally being walled gardens for a palace which once served as a leisure residence for the Grand Master. A truly relaxing half day excursion in and around the old capital of Malta.

The tour will conclude with you being dropped off at your Malta hotel or at Malta's Cirkewwa port (tours departing from Gozo) for your ferry back to Gozo, at the other end you will be met by either a taxi/ minibus to be dropped back at your Gozo accommodation.

Please note
Hotel pick up is available from most Malta hotels, however some Malta hotels have very narrow access streets, if you are staying in one such hotel and it is not possible for a coach to drive to your hotel you will be advised on a pick up point. Pick up point would only be a few minutes away on foot, usually around 200 meters away
