Mdina, Mosta, Crafts Village & Valletta – Full Day

Mdina: Mdina, also known as the 'Silent City,' is a stunning walled medieval town situated on a hill in central Malta. The town offers beautiful views of the island and has narrow streets where time seems to stand still. Mdina is famous for its rich history and architecture, its nuns in the convent, and, of course, St. Paul’s Cathedral. Enjoy the tranquility, the authentic atmosphere, and the impressive buildings. Make sure to try the chocolate cake at ‘Fontanella restaurant’. Valletta: Valletta, the capital of Malta, is renowned for its beautiful baroque architecture. St. John's Co-Cathedral is an absolute must-see, famous for its richly decorated interior and paintings by Caravaggio. The Upper Barrakka Gardens offer breathtaking views over the Grand Harbour, perfect for a relaxing moment on the benches in the garden. Valletta is also home to the Grandmaster's Palace, once the headquarters of the Knights of Malta. Mosta: Mosta is best known for the impressive Rotunda of Mosta, also called the Mosta Dome, one of the largest domed churches in the world. This church became famous during World War II when a bomb struck the dome without exploding, which is considered a miracle. Besides the church, Mosta is a bustling city with a lively centre, wine bars, and cafés where you can experience local Maltese life. You can also enjoy the charming streets and small, cute markets.

Vintage Bus Tour to Vittoriosa, Cospicua & Senglea – Half Day

Vittoriosa is known for its charming marina and historic buildings like Fort St. Angelo. Be sure to visit the Malta Maritime Museum to dive into the rich maritime history of the island.

Gozo with a Difference – Full Day

Gozo: Gozo, the second-largest island of the Maltese archipelago, is known for its beautiful natural landscapes and peaceful atmosphere.

Blue Grotto, Marsaxlokk and Market - Half day

Blue Grotto: The Blue Grotto is one of Malta's most stunning natural attractions, renowned for its vibrant blue waters and impressive rock formations.

The largest cave, known as the Blue Grotto itself, is a popular spot for divers and snorkellers due to its crystal-clear waters and abundant marine life. This magnificent natural wonder is located on the southern coast of Malta, near the fishing village of Wied iż-Żurrieq.
