Mdina the Silent City Self Guided Walking Tour

5.0(15)3 hFree cancellationBy Tourific

About this activity

This self-guided walking tour of Mdina traces the sieges, saints, and secrets hidden in plain sight throughout Malta's Silent City. You will hear stories of the famous bluffs which held the Ottomans back, see the influence of different rulers on the city and learn about the apostle who changed the city forever.

Using the app, you can walk at your own pace through honey-coloured lanes where Knights of Saint John once rode. Stand on the bastions where defenders answered Ottoman taunts with cheese, trace Napoleon's uprising from the room where he slept, and pass the gate Ned Stark rode through in Game of Thrones.

No fixed start time. Pause whenever you want. Available in 9 languages with offline access, and a full refund guarantee.

Over 20,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours. Built for travelers who want the stories behind the stones, not a rushed group schedule. A bonus Rabat extension adds catacombs and pastizzi with 2 optional stops for Game of thrones fans.
