Valletta is Malta's capital city. Built in 1565 by the order of Saint John it is still a living, working city, the administrative and commercial heart of the island. In spite of it being a busy city, Valletta retains a timeless character. The grids of narrow streets contain some of Europe's finest works of art including a multitude of baroque churches and palaces which make this city a European Art City with great world heritage value.
The Valletta excursion will take you through the bustling streets of our capital city. Our qualified guides will accompany you to visit The Saint John's Co-Cathedral with its breathtaking richly adorned interior while also admiring the world famous paintings of Caravaggio. Our guides will also take you to visit the armory of The Grandmaster's Palace where a great collection of weapons and armor is displayed. The highlight of the tour will be a visit to "The Malta Experience", an audio visual show that depicts Malta's rich history through the ages.
