Itinerary

Valletta City Gate

15 min

The current city gate is the fifth city gate Valletta has had in around 450 years, the first gate starting in April 1566. In front of it, we will gladly admire Triton's fountain, the first element that comes to our attention before entering the city gates.
St. John's Co-Cathedral

20 min Admission not included

Built in the 1570s as the church for the Knights of St John, this magnificent cathedral is Malta’s most visited church and the home of a Caravaggio painting.
Grand Master's Palace

20 min Admission not included

The first building to be constructed by the Knights of St John in the new capital city and enlarged over the years, the Palace is the seat of the Office of the President of Malta.
Hastings Gardens

One of the highest points of the City, offering stunning panoramic views over Floriana, Msida, Sliema, and Manoel Island.

One of the most visited places in Malta and admired by many for their beauty and rich history. The gardens offer a view over Valletta’s Grand Harbour and Vittoriosa’s Grand Harbour Marina.
Republic Street

Republic street is the main road of Valletta and its here that you will find most of the government related buildings. It's primarily pedestrian-only and it is only one kilometer long.
Cospicua (Bormla)

The largest of the Three Cities. While much of the city was destroyed during numerous battles over the course of Malta’s tumultuous history, it has been proudly rebuilt. A more modern Cospicua can be found along the coastal part of the city.
Senglea

Senglea is a small, fortified city on a peninsular parallel to Vittoriosa. A pedestrian bridge connects it to its larger neighbor and two grand forts – Fort St Michael and Fort St Angelo.
Birgu (Vittoriosa)

35 min

This fortified city is one of the oldest in Malta and it is known for being the first home of the Knights of the Order of St John, who settled on the island in 1530. As such, it contains some of the most historic palaces, churches and noble homes in Malta.
