Visit the early Christian catacombs in Rabat and the cliffs at Dingli
Enjoy a stroll at San Anton botanical gardens situated near the Presidential Palace

What to expect

Discover the central part of Malta, dominated by the ancient citadel of Medina, once the island's capital city steeped in history.

Join the tour and navigate through the narrow streets and mysterious alleyways of Mdina, also known as the "silent city". Reach the awe-inspiring bastions and take in an almost 360-degree panoramic view of the island. Leave Mdina through the Greek Gate and proceed to the catacombs, followed by a drive to the southwest of the island, to the Dingli cliffs, which offer breathtaking views of the open sea and the tiny island of Filfla.

After a lovely lunch, move on to the botanic gardens of San Anton, home to some of the island's rarest plants and trees, and now home of the President of the Republic. Next, visit Mosta and its impressive dome, one of Europe's largest standing unsupported domes.

Your last stop will be the crafts center at Ta' Qali, where you can see glass blowing, pottery and filigree firsthand, and where you'll have ample time for shopping for souvenirs.

Gozo med templen Victoria och Ggantija – utflykt i liten grupp

Öarna Gozo och Malta and skiljs bara åt av en smal kanal men skillnaderna är iögonfallande. Gozo är en grönare ö, glesare befolkad och har en mer avslappnad atmosfär. Den lugna stämningen känner du när du besöker Victoria-citadellet, templen vid Ggantija, Ta'Pinu-basilikan och Dwejra-bukten.

Marsaxlokk Sunday Market & Blue Grotto with Local Guide

Leisure is the name of the game on Sunday mornings in Malta, and this shopping and sightseeing trip makes the most of Malta's scenery and local culture. You'll head to the renowned Blue Grotto, before visiting the fishing village of Marsaxlokk to stroll around its weekly market. The day concludes with a trip to the Għar Dalam cave. Micheal, one of our expert local guides, says, 'If you like to eat fish and seafood, Marsaxlokk won't disappoint. It's packed with great restaurants and market day brings the freshest produce to town, much of it picked or caught the same day.'We'll kick off with a visit to one of Malta's most famous natural sights – the Blue Grotto of Wied Iz-Zurrieq. It's a 50-metre-deep natural cave with a huge arch that stretches out to sea. The caves get their name from the light reflecting off the water, which creates a dazzling blue colour. An optional boat trip into the grotto is available.Then we'll head to Marsaxlokk – one of the most picturesque spots in the country. This quaint fishing village hosts a large market down by the waterfront – make sure you check out the colourfully painted ‘luzzu' boats floating in the harbour. As well as freshly caught fish, there'll also be locally grown fruit and veg, Maltese wines, cold cuts, cheeses and leather goods. After plenty of time for shopping and lunch, we'll finish the day with a trip to Għar Dalam cave, where the earliest evidence of human presence in Malta, around 7,400 years old, has been unearthed by archaeologists.
