- 09:30 AM Meeting Point City Gate, Valletta
Just outside the main entrance of Valletta, at the beginning of the bridge that traverses the dry moat. - 10:00 AM Dingli Cliffs
We board our transport and head to to Dingli to enjoy Malta’s highest point with sweeping views of the open sea and countryside. At about 250 meters above sea level, these are Malta’s highest cliffs. From here, you can admire spectacular views over the Mediterranean. The landscape is peaceful, with terraced fields and little chapels, giving a taste of rural Malta.On the way you will hear about Malta’s colourful history, our language, culture and traditions. - 10:30 AM The Catacombs of St. Paul, Rabat
Visit St. Paul’s Catacombs (admission €6 adults / €4.50 seniors) Rabat, Malta’s “suburb” of Mdina, is closely linked with the story of St. Paul, who was shipwrecked on the island in AD 60. The catacombs are an extensive underground burial complex used from Roman times into the early Christian period. With their rock-cut tombs and circular communal tables for funeral banquets, they illustrate the transition from pagan to Christian burial customs. - 11:50 PM Mdina
Explore the Silent City: Cathedral Square, bastions, and medieval alleys.Known as the “Silent City”, Mdina was Malta’s capital for centuries. Its narrow medieval streets, palaces, and bastions create an atmosphere that has hardly changed in 1,000 years. Highlights include Cathedral Square, the bastion views stretching across the island, and the elegant facades of noble residences. The silence and timelessness make Mdina one of Malta’s most enchanting stops. - Ending Point At the starting meeting point
