Valletta: A Baroque Capital by the Sea

Begin your exploration in Valletta, Malta’s stunning capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded by the Knights of St. John in the 16th century, Valletta is a compact city bursting with grand palaces, imposing forts, and sweeping harbor views.

Visit the magnificent St. John’s Co-Cathedral, home to Caravaggio’s masterpiece The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist, and explore the Grand Master’s Palace, a symbol of Malta’s chivalric history. Walk along Republic Street and Merchant Street, lined with historic buildings, elegant shops, and traditional cafés.

Your guide will lead you through quiet backstreets and scenic terraces like the Upper Barrakka Gardens, offering panoramic views over the Grand Harbour, one of the most beautiful natural harbors in the world.

Mdina: The Silent City

From the coast, travel inland to Mdina, Malta’s ancient capital, also known as the “Silent City.” Enclosed within medieval walls and perched on a hilltop, Mdina is a timeless maze of narrow streets, noble houses, and golden limestone facades.

Enter through the grand Main Gate, then stroll past palaces, chapels, and balconies adorned with wrought iron and trailing flowers. Visit the impressive St. Paul’s Cathedral, and learn about the aristocratic families who still live within the city walls.

Your guide will share stories of Mdina’s Roman roots, Arab legacy, and medieval prominence while revealing quiet corners that capture the city’s mystical charm.

Local Life and Hidden Gems

Enhance your experience with stops at artisan workshops or boutique shops, where you can find handmade lace, filigree jewelry, or local ceramics. Your guide can also arrange a tasting of Maltese delicacies—from pastizzi and ftira to local wines or prickly pear liqueur.

Combine history with comfort by enjoying a light lunch at a hidden courtyard café in Mdina or a terrace restaurant overlooking Valletta’s harbor.
