Stories, Noble Palaces, and Pastizzi in Mdina
Meet your tour guide and begin this interesting tour in one of the most unique fortified cities in the world. Over the course of 2 hours, your Mdina guide will lead you through the City of Silence, where the Maltese nobility once lived, surrounded by elegance and luxury.
Follow the labyrinthine streets that preserve stories of mystery and conflict among Mdina's medieval buildings, and reach Villegaugnon Street, where Malta's landowning families once lived. Adorned with the city's typically closed balconies and doors with curious knockers, many of these palaces are now museums and gift shops.
Leaving through the Greek Gate, you will pass through the moat, which was never filled with water, and continue to the suburbs of Rabat. Here, you will make a short stop to taste authentic pastizzi, made of puff pastry and filled with requeson or pea purée, accompanied by a local beer or coffee - one of the most delicious and affordable ways to eat in Malta.
