Valletta is rich in history and architecture – so much so that it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On this trip you'll discover highlights like the lavishly decorated St John's Cathedral, enjoy a gondola trip in the Grand Harbour and much more. This is one of our TUI Collection excursions, which give you a local flavour of the destination while showcasing its unique, authentic and responsible values.
First up is the walled district Birgu, also known as la Vittoriosa, where you'll enjoy on a guided walk. Next, hop into a dghajsa – a Maltese gondola – to cross the Grand Harbour. In Valletta proper, visit St John's Cathedral, where baroque frescoes and sculptures adorn its gilded interior.
At midday, we make our way to the Upper Barrakka Gardens to catch the famed cannon salute– a true Valletta tradition. Rounding off the day is a visit to the Malta Experience Show, where the island's history is brought to life before your eyes.
