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. From here, enjoy breathtaking views of the Grand Harbour and the surrounding cities, including Cospicua and Senglea.
Next, we visit Senglea, a city known for its defensive fortifications and stunning vistas. Take a leisurely stroll along the waterfront and soak in panoramic views from the Garden of the Innocents, providing a picturesque perspective of the harbor and neighboring cities.
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.
Throughout the tour, our expert guide will share captivating stories and insights, bringing the rich history of each city to life. Join us for a deep dive into Malta’s medieval past and enjoy the unique charm of the Three Cities.
