Private Walking Tour of Mdina and Rabat | Points of Interest

Our 4-hour tour of Rabat and Mdina is ideal to get a close look at the medieval streets and ancient walls, which are a fundamental part of the Maltese past. 

Each of these cities has a very striking historical and cultural past that is worth knowing.  

Mdina 

One of the main things that will catch your attention in Mdina, also known as “the silent city”, is its labyrinth of cream-colored streets, which reflect the sun’s rays in a majestic and impressive way. 

In fact, no other city better describes the island’s past. 

This city has thousands of years of history, but its architecture remains almost unchanged, which is very attractive to visitors. 

Mdina, which was founded by the Phoenicians in 700 BC, was the capital of Malta, as its location favored better defense of the city. 

In addition, its walls, built between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, are among the best preserved in the world. 

On our walking tour of Mdina, you will see different sites of interest, such as: 

• The Palazzo Falson in Mdina. 
• The Cathedral of Mdina. 
• The Vilhena Palace. 
• The Cathedral Museum, and many other places of spectacular beauty. 

Likewise, the view from the walls is spectacular, so we know that from there you will be encouraged to take many photographs that will serve as a souvenir of your trip. 

Rabat  

In ancient times, Malta was besieged by the Arabs, who also built several cities in their attempt to take over the island. 

This is the case of Rabat, a village built near Mdina, whose name translates as “the suburbs”. 

This is a smaller city than Mdina, but it is still home to many attractive and interesting sites. 

A recommended visit in Rabat is to visit the Catacombs of St. Paul, as it is a way to learn more about the beginnings of Christianity. 

Also, on this walking tour you will also discover other places, such as: 

• Catacombs of St. Agatha.
• The Domus Romana. 
• World War II shelters.
• The Bernard House.
• St. Paul’s Church, and many other points of interest. 

Throughout the tour, the guide will go at your pace so that you can explore every corner with greater comfort. 

If you have more time in Malta, it would be an interesting option to also choose a tour to Gozo from Malta. This way, you will discover the natural beauties of this small paradise and you will understand why it is considered one of the most beautiful islands in Europe.
