Majestic Malta
Overview
Itinerary
Arrive in Malta and check in to the Waterfront Hotel for the duration of the tour.
Embark on a guided tour of Malta's compact capital, Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site brimming with baroque marvels, twisting streets and charming cafes. Highlights include St John's CoCathedral and the palatial rooms of Casa Rocca Piccola. Enjoy a welcome lunch at Rampila Restaurant, uniquely situated in the city's 16th-century bastions.
Spend a free day enjoying the facilities of the hotel, including the outdoor pool and sun terrace. Alternatively, explore more of the area, perhaps with an excursion to the tiny third island of Comino, famous for its enticing white sands and azure waters.
Explore Birgu, including a visit to Fort St Angelo, the ancient seat of the Knights of Malta. Access to the order's private sections of the fort, which to this day enjoy extraterritoriality, has been arranged, followed by an aperitif. Next, enjoy a half-hour private harbour cruise aboard a traditional Maltese passenger boat. These colourful vessels are icons of Maltese culture.
Cross by ferry to Gozo, Malta's second largest island, for a full-day tour by tuktuk. Highlights include exploration of the main town of Victoria, famous for its 16th-century citadel; UNESCO-listed Ggantija temples, and the Xwejni salt pans, whose shimmering pools are still harvested in the ancient tradition. Stop en route for lunch. Return to Malta in the late afternoon.
Embark on a day tour of the 5,000-year-old temple complex of Hagar Qim and the historic city of Mdina. The day also includes a boat ride to the Blue Grotto – a series of sea caves naturally lit by breaks in the rock.
Tour ends in Valletta.
