San Anton Gardens
The tour starts at San Anton Gardens in Attard, one of the most beautiful public gardens in Malta. Created in the 17th century as part of the summer residence of a Grand Master, they offer a peaceful escape from busy areas. You walk through shaded paths surrounded by trees and plants, with fountains, ponds and quiet corners to relax. It is a perfect place to start your day, calm and refreshing.
Rabat and the catacombs
From here, the tour continues to Rabat, just outside Mdina. The name Rabat means suburb, as it was originally built outside the city walls of the old capital. In Rabat you visit the famous catacombs, underground burial chambers from early Christian times, used between the 3rd and 8th century. Walking through the narrow passages and stone burial spaces gives real insight into Malta’s early religious life.
Mdina, the Silent City
After Rabat, the tour continues to Mdina, known as The Silent City and one of the most iconic places in Malta. Surrounded by walls and filled with narrow streets, it has very few residents and almost no traffic, so it stays quiet and peaceful. The golden buildings create a special atmosphere, with great spots for photos and small cafés where you can relax.
