Embark on a captivating journey into Malta's past with this half-day guided tour, commencing with a convenient hotel pick-up in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Your licensed tour guide, well-versed in the island's history, will escort you to Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua—cities that have witnessed centuries of Maltese history. Begin your tour with a panoramic drive past Cospicua, the largest of the Three Cities and known for its large dockyards and fortifications.
Next, explore Vittoriosa’s architectural treasures, including the historic Inquisitor's Palace and the ornate St. Lawrence's Church. The origins of the city date back to medieval times when Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, and more contributed to the development of the city. Traverse the narrow, winding streets and discover a plethora of historic churches and buildings.
Embark on a serene boat ride on a traditional Maltese ‘frejgatina’, allowing you to drink in the splendor of these fortified cities from the vibrant harbor creeks. Your last stop is at Senglea which was joined by a land bridge to Cospicua leading to the peninsular formation. Ascend to Senglea's Gardjola Gardens, where the watchtower offers panoramic vistas of the Grand Harbour and Fort Saint Angelo. The tower's eye and ear symbols tell an intriguing tale of its role in safeguarding the harbor. Immerse yourself in this rich history and return to your hotel with unforgettable memories of Malta's heart.
