About this experience
This is the best way to discover the 3 Cities area with a particular attention to the most historic city of Vittoriosa, through the streets of which we will be walking so as for us to discover the incredible stories behind the walls and narrow streets of the city built by the knights.
The experience starts in Cospicua at the berthing place of the 3 cities ferry. We suggest you take the ferry from Valletta to the 3 Cities where you'll find us waiting as you board off the ferry on the 3 Cities side. There we walk through Cospicua and start the discovery of these amazing cities on the harbour with beautiful breathtaking views all along. We get to visit the Collacchio area with its beautifully stepped narrow winded streets. We also walk through the escape route of the city and then by the oldest fortress in the harbour which served as prison to Caravaggio and headquarter to the British Navy. All along the route you will be taking in some of the most amazing views of the Grand Harbour.
