About this experience
Malta’s capital city, Valletta, was built by the Knights of St. John more than 400 years ago. It is a historic city, but also a living, working one, the administrative and commercial heart of the Islands. In the mornings the city is visited by thousands of people, some on their way to work, others to shop or to learn more about its history. But what happens at night?
This city has throughout the centuries witnessed death, murders, executions, plots and who knows what else. So it is perhaps not surprising that there are so many ghost stories told about Valletta, as it seems that there could still be some earthbound spirits attached to these historic places, still looking for eternal peace or vengeance.
Join our Valletta Ghost Tour if you dare, to hear a selection of these stories as we take a walk through the dark and deserted streets of night-time Valletta, and perhaps experience something for yourself. Who knows who or what could be lurking just around the corner ...

Detailed itinerary
1
Mdina, known as The Silent City, is one of Malta’s oldest and most mysterious places. Its narrow, winding streets, high limestone walls, and centuries-old palaces have witnessed invasions, assassinations, noble feuds, and unexplained events that still echo today. Many locals claim that after sunset, Mdina takes on a different life—shadows seem to move on their own, footsteps are heard on empty alleys, and restless spirits from Malta’s medieval past are said to roam quietly in the night. This ancient walled city may be peaceful by day, but by night, it becomes a place where history and the supernatural blend together.
