About this activity

Walk Valletta like it was meant to be explored, through winding alleys and under cannon-scarred bastions with this self-guided tour. Discover the power plays, legends, and quiet corners of the fortress city that most visitors miss.

On this tour, you’ll trace the footsteps of the Knights of St. John through majestic stops like the Grandmaster’s Palace and St. John’s Co-Cathedral, hear about WWII-era bunkers and pause in places where legends of sieges and saints still echo. Along the way, you’ll catch interesting stories like tactics used in the sieges, and the controversy behind a parliament building.

Carefully curated for first-time visitors and history lovers, it balances major landmarks with lesser-known gems.
