About this experience

This guided walking tour of Valletta, Malta’s capital city, is a grand experience in every way. Every path and street lead you to discover an eye-opening wonder, where history has been carefully restored to its original beauty.

Enjoy stunning views of the Grand Harbour and across the water of the three ancient cities in all their ancient glory. Walk down the dark and mysterious Strait Street, Malta's old red-light district, now one of the best locations in Malta for concept restaurants and bars.

Admire the aesthetics of modern architecture intertwined with historical monuments as you journey from City Gate, past the Old Opera Theatre, once bombed to near total collapse and now a performing artist's dream venue, down to the popular shopping destination, Republic Street.

It’s hard to capture the capital city’s rich culture and history in just four hours, but this tour is the perfect mix of the best sites you’ll want to see.
