About this experience

Discover Valletta your way with self-guided walking tour—audio and text in 7 languages, right on your phone. No app, no hassle—just press play and explore!

This walk through Valletta begins not with fanfare but with a city gate that whispers rather than shouts. From stone fortresses to baroque showpieces and bomb-scarred gardens, Valletta’s blend of faith and defense unfolds in straight lines and shaded courtyards. You’ll pass tombs with stories underfoot, stroll markets where trade still hums, and pause where cannons once answered ships. Valletta doesn’t open up all at once, but this walk will get you closer to its core. Start at the gate and see where it leads.

With this handy self-guided format, you’ll explore at your own pace Valletta using audio or text on your phone. Start when ready and enjoy!
