Description
Begin your journey in Valletta, a UNESCO-listed capital where every street tells a story. Stroll through its elegant avenues as your guide brings centuries of history to life. Along the way, visit remarkable landmarks including the striking Parliament House, the panoramic Upper Barrakka Gardens overlooking the Grand Harbour, the historic Auberge de Castille, and the grand Grandmaster's Palace square.
As the city glows in the warm hues of dusk, descend towards the waterfront and board a traditional Maltese wooden boat for a serene harbor cruise. Glide across the majestic Grand Harbour, a stage for centuries of naval power and dramatic battles. This 30-minute journey offers a unique perspective of the fortifications and skyline, just as sailors and knights once experienced it.
Your boat will then carry you across to Vittoriosa (Birgu), one of Malta’s oldest and most atmospheric cities. Here, your guided walking tour continues through narrow streets steeped in resilience and heroism, especially during the legendary sieges that shaped the island’s history. Discover treasures such as the imposing Inquisitor's Palace, historic auberges, and formidable fortifications that once defended the city against powerful invaders.
