Medina & Rabat Tour: The Traditional Malta
♡ Save
Join a guided free tour through one of Europe’s best-preserved medieval cities, where winding streets and rich architecture create a maze of unforgettable sights. Head to Rabat, a traditional Maltese town with its own warm, authentic charm.
Mdina is a dream city, preserved as if time had forever stood still in its streets and palaces. So, it has still been used in numerous film and TV super-productions to represent past times and fantastic worlds.
Come with us to discover the ancient capital of Malta, today known as the "Silent City," to stroll its most beautiful corners and learn to read in its stones the secrets that this ancient city shows to those who want to read them.
We will walk through its winding streets, admire its squares, and look out over its walls, which offer one of the best views of our islands. The city is very tiny, so we will kick practically every corner where local nobility and servants live.
After the visit to what was the most important city of our islands, we continued through its suburbs, Rabat, a populous example of Maltese rural life and the charm of its traditional villages. Streets, with character and history, help us discover a Malta that (fortunately) refuses to disappear.
