Activity itinerary

Valletta

Embark on an unforgettable guided tour of Valletta's vibrant streets, where you will uncover the enchanting beauty and distinctive charm of Malta's capital city, a fortified marvel built by the Knights of St. John in 1566. Valletta is a feast for the senses, boasting imposing fortifications and bastions, awe-inspiring baroque palaces, stunning churches, lush gardens, and a captivating mix of architectural styles ranging from mid-16th-century baroque to modernism. Without a doubt, Valletta is one of the most extraordinary and charming cities you will ever explore. As you stroll through the bustling streets, you'll have the opportunity to admire the stunning buildings—many of which date back to the 16th century—and the city’s unique architectural character, which blends baroque aesthetics with elements of Mannerist, Neo-Classical, and Modern designs.

Upper Barrakka Gardens

A visit to the Upper Barrakka Gardens is a must; here, you can take in breathtaking views of the magnificent Grand Harbour, providing a perfect backdrop for memorable photographs. The gardens are located on the upper tier of Saints Peter and Paul Bastion, which was built in the 1560s. The bastion's lower tier contains the saluting battery. The garden's terraced arches were built in 1661 by the Italian knight Fra Flaminio Balbiani. They were originally roofed, but the ceiling was removed following the Rising of the Priests in 1775.
