Scenic Tour on Board a Traditional Malta Bus | Visiting Palazzo Parisio, Dingli Cliffs & Buskett Gardens

4 hours

Easy

Visit Palazzo Parisio in Naxxar, and discover Malta’s historic nobility and their enchanting way of life. Enjoy a walk in Buskett Gardens. Visit Dingli Cliffs - the highest point in Malta! Tour on board a traditional Malta Bus.

We will start our tour with a visit to Palazzo Parisio which is located in the heart of the picturesque village of Naxxar. During our visit, we will discover the intricate nuances of Malta’s historic nobility and their enchanting way of life. 

Our next stop is Clapham Junction which is covered with very puzzling and mysterious grooves in the rock. They appear to be ancient roadways of some sort. They do not appear to be directly linked to the building of any of Malta's megalithic temples and seem to be found on higher and rockier surfaces. 

After we will then drive to The Buskett Gardens, located in the fertile valley of Wied il-Luq, Siggiewi. The gardens are at their best in Spring but they offer shade from the harsh mid-Summer sun and offer a quiet place for a walk in the Winter months. Verdala Palace, an official residence of the President of Malta, is located on the edge of the Gardens. A coffee break is also included in this tour where we will taste the delicious and traditional “Pastizzi”.

Our final stop is Dingli Cliffs, located less than a kilometre to the southwest of the village of Dingli. The cliffs are 220 metres high and are the highest point in Malta! An isolated chapel makes for a charming landmark. During this excursion, we will tour onboard a traditional Malta Bus -  a bus that is now rare to see on the Maltese Islands.
