Discover Malta’s capital, founded in 1566 by Grand Master Jean de La Valette. Explore its military architecture, baroque art, Upper Barrakka Gardens, MUZA Museum, and the Church of St. Paul’s Shipwreck.

- Day 3: Mdina – Rabat – Mosta (25km – 1 hr.)
Head to Mdina, the “Silent City,” one of the island’s most stunning architectural ensembles.

See the fortified towns across from Valletta, known as the Three Cities—Birgu, Bormla, and Isla—established in 1530 as the first settlements of the Knights, a Catholic military and religious order. Cross Bormla, stroll through the historic streets of Birgu, and enjoy a scenic cruise in a traditional dghajsa along the harbour inlets.
