**Day 1: Valletta and Audiovisual Show**

Begin your adventure with a half-day guided tour through the vibrant streets of Valletta. Discover the beauty of the fortified city built by the Knights in 1566. First, enjoy a breathtaking view of the Grand Harbour from the Upper Barrakka Gardens. Then, visit St. John’s Co-Cathedral (optional add-on or free time), including the Caravaggio masterpieces and one of the most beautiful marble inlaid floors in the world. Stroll down Republic Street and past the Grand Masters’ Palace and St. George’s Square. End your day by watching the audiovisual show at the Malta Experience (Monday) or Malta 5D (Wednesday), where Malta’s history throughout the centuries is brought back to life.

**Day 2: Mdina**

Take a half-day guided tour of Malta’s medieval city of Mdina, Malta’s former capital. The narrow, winding streets, dating back to the Arab period, lead to the imposing bastions, commanding a panoramic view. Discover different styles of architecture, including medieval Siculo-Norman palaces and Baroque buildings of great historical importance. Time stands still in this ‘Silent City’, a film-maker’s paradise. Leaving Mdina through Greek’s Gate, proceed to the cliffs at Dingli. End your tour with a visit to the San Anton botanical gardens situated near the Presidential Palace.

**Day 2: Mdina Optional Add-On**

Enhance your experience by upgrading to a full-day guided tour including a 3-course lunch with a glass of wine. Explore the early Christian Catacombs in Rabat and the Ta’ Qali Crafts Village. You will also visit Mosta Church and admire its spectacular dome — one of the largest in Europe.

**Day 3: Three Cities**

Discover the Grand Harbour area opposite Valletta known as the Three Cities – Vittoriosa, Cospicua and Senglea, where the Knights of St. John first settled in 1530. Driving past Cospicua, reach Vittoriosa for a walking tour through the narrow streets in the shade of historic buildings, including the first auberges of the various langues of the Order. At the Vittoriosa waterfront, take a typical harbor boat (dghajsa) for a tour of the colorful harbor creeks. From the Senglea Garden, situated at the tip of the peninsula, enjoy a stunning 360° view of the Grand Harbour, including the impressive Fort Sant Angelo from where Grand Master La Valette led the defense of the island during the Great Siege of 1565.

**Day 3: Three Cities Optional Add-On**

On Wednesdays you can extend your morning tour with a second harbour cruise in the afternoon from Sliema including transport, to discover the beauty of Valletta’s two natural harbours – Marsamxett and the Grand Harbour. Seen from the sea, Valletta appears in all its grandeur, providing photographers with the best opportunity for original pictures. After this second cruise you will have time to stroll along Sliema’s main shopping area, where you can also relax in one of the many cafés. Return transfer from Sliema at 17:30.
