4 hours

Easy

Half-day morning tour visiting Mdina, Dingli Cliffs and San Anton Botanical gardens. Enjoy a guided walking tour of Mdina, the medieval town today known as the 'silent city'. Enjoy breath-taking views from Dingli Cliffs.

Step into the timeless charm of Malta on this half-day guided tour exploring three of the island’s inland highlights. Begin in Mdina, Malta’s former capital, where quiet stone streets, dwarfed doorways, and noble architecture transport you back to medieval times. Your licensed guide will share captivating stories as you take a gentle walk through the narrow streets of the Silent City, ending at the bastions for sweeping panoramic views across the island.

The tour continues to the Dingli Cliffs, Malta’s highest point. From this dramatic stretch of coastline, enjoy spectacular views of the open sea and the small uninhabited islet of Filfla.

Your final stop is the San Anton Botanical Gardens. These gardens were originally walled gardens to a Palace which served as a leisure residence for the Grand Master. Today, it offers a tranquil escape with shaded walkways, fountains, and Mediterranean flora.

A relaxed and scenic experience, perfect for travellers of all ages looking to enjoy Malta’s heritage and natural beauty — with pickup and drop-off close to your accommodation included.
