This morning, we dive into Malta’s dazzling capital the way it was meant to be seen—from the water. Step aboard a traditional Dgħajsa boat for a panoramic sail through the UNESCO-listed Grand Harbour, once the stage of epic naval battles and now one of the most stunning natural harbors in the world.
Back on land, a local expert guide leads us through the golden-stone streets of Valletta, Europe’s southernmost capital and a living museum of Baroque beauty. Stroll past intricate balconies and grand façades, and take in sweeping views of the historic Three Cities from the Upper Barrakka Gardens—an Instagram moment if ever there was one. You’ll also marvel at the Grand Master’s Palace, a symbol of Malta’s proud legacy of power and prestige.
Enjoy free time this afternoon to savor Valletta at your own pace—perhaps grab a pastry from a historic café, pop into a boutique, or explore one of the many tucked-away churches.
Later, we’re treated to a rare opportunity: a visit to the private residence of a modern-day Knight of Malta, offering a glimpse into the enduring legacy of this ancient order. We return to Sliema the way the locals do—by ferry across the harbor, with the evening free for you to relax, dine, or take a twilight stroll along the promenade.
