Take the scenic route to Malta's former capital, Mdina, located on a hill with stunning views over the island. It is one of Europe's finest examples of an ancient, walled city with a mix of medieval and Baroque architecture.
Stroll through the city's narrow streets and let your guide introduce you to Mdina's 4,000 years of history as (s)he provides an orientation to the town itself. From the bastions, enjoy the sweeping views stretching all the way to the coast.
Take advantage of some free time to visit St Paul's Cathedral or Palazzo Falson, shop for souvenirs or purchase a snack (at your own expense).
Ride by coach to Valletta -- the present-day capital. You'll walk to St John's Co-Cathedral and the Grand Master's Palace to view these beautiful buildings from the outside.
Use your free time in the capital to visit the cathedral or Casa Rocca Piccola, or for exploring the nooks and crannies of Valletta. Walk past the Auberge de Castille -- today the office of the Prime Minister.
The Barrakka Gardens, perched high above the Grand Harbour, provide a shady retreat from the bustle of the city, and the balcony has one of the finest views in Malta.
