3:30 Hours
Curate your own itinerary for the fascinating ‘Silent City’ of Mdina, and explore Malta’s oldest city at your own pace.
On your ride into a central location in Mdina, you’ll be given with a map and all the background information you’ll need for your visit to this ancient city. Your guide will show you through the streets of Mdina before allowing you free time to wander through the sights and timeless atmosphere, and make your own discoveries.
Towering high above the island, with wonderful panoramic views, Mdina is one of Europe's best-preserved ancient walled cities. Its history also dates back to pre-historic times, offering you a host of attractions to delve into.
Lying within the city’s tall bastion fortifications, you’ll find an extraordinary mix of medieval and baroque architecture, as you stroll through the maze of tangled, shaded lanes. Highlights include St Paul’s Cathedral and museum, National Museum of Natural History, Archbishop’s Palace, and Palazzo Falson (The Norman House). The landscaped Mdina Ditch Garden also offers a wonderful location for a wander.
In addition, fans of Game of Thrones may see a familiar setting or two, as Malta was the original King’s Landing.
