Explore the City of Mdina

While you’re on the island of Malta why not swing by the ancient city of Mdina? Known as the Silent City, this Maltese place is a time capsule – its narrow winding streets, impressive palaces and ancient city walls will transport you back in time.

Plus it used to be Malta’s capital during Roman and medieval times, so there’s tons of history to soak up. Check out the historic churches and landmarks like St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Palazzo Falson Historic House Museum and Mdina Dungeons Museum.

If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, you’ll recognise it as a filming location for King’s Landing, which is pretty cool.

Even though Mdina is a popular destination, the city manages to keep things pretty peaceful and serene, mainly because there are no cars allowed inside. The city is also built on a hill so you get some stunning views of Malta.
