Here’s an overview of your tour

Experience Malta’s medieval splendor with our exclusive tour of the Three Cities: Birgu (Vittoriosa), Senglea, and Cospicua.

Our journey begins in Birgu (Vittoriosa), the most renowned of the Three Cities and the original home of the Knights of Malta. This fortified city is steeped in history, and we’ll explore its key landmarks, including the impressive Fort St. Angelo.

Our final stop is Cospicua, where you’ll discover its historic fortifications and vibrant local atmosphere. We will also view the Inquisitor’s Palace from the outside, admiring its historical significance without entering.
