Valletta Walking Tour
Valletta Walking Tour
We'll pick you up from your hotel and make our way to the oldest part of the Maltese capital to take a guided walking tour of the historic centre of Valletta.
Our first stop is in the romantic gardens of the Upper Barrakka Gardens. In this 18th century park built above the Valletta port, we'll learn about the history of this oasis of calm within the city, conceived as a place for the retired Italian knights. And today, as then, it provides some delightful views of the Great Harbour.
The tour continues visiting the St. John's Co-Cathedral, constructed by the Knights Hospitalier. Those same knights collected a vast collection of art, which can still be seen today, of which the 'Beheading of St. John the Baptist' is one of the most famous examples - a Caravaggio masterwork.
Having seen the Co-Cathedral, the tour moves on the St. George's Square, to admire the famous Presidential Palace from outside. Then as a final stop we'll take in the theatre of Fort Saint Elmo, to enjoy The Malta Experience, an audiovisual spectacle, which brings to life the long and storied history of the Maltese archipelago throughout the centuries.
With the projection over, we'll take you back to your hotel in Malta.
Tour without the Co-Cathedral visit
If you do not wish to visit the Co-Cathedral, you can still join this tour. Instead of visiting the interior of this temple, you'll have 45 minutes of free time to explore the surrounding areas. After that, we'll meet up again to resume our tour.
