    Valletta, Malta
    • Valletta, Malta
    Welcome to Valletta, the capital of Malta. Valletta is one of Europe's most concentrated expressions of Baroque ambition, founded in 1566 by the Knights of St John in the aftermath of the Great Siege. A UNESCO World Heritage city where every street, palace, and fortified wall carries the weight of a singular history, it rewards those who take the time to simply wander and absorb it. You will spend four nights here, with the island's most remarkable experiences unfolding in the days ahead. This evening, meet your tour director and fellow guests for a welcome dinner at a Scenic-selected restaurant, the first taste of Maltese hospitality that will help shape your journey. ...

    Valletta, Malta
    • Valletta, Malta
    This morning your tour director leads you on a guided exploration of Valletta, beginning at the Upper Barrakka Gardens, whose arcaded terraces frame one of the Mediterranean's great panoramas - the Grand Harbour below, the fortified peninsulas of the Three Cities rising across the water. From here, you visit St John's Co-Cathedral, built by the Knights between 1573 and 1577, its austere exterior giving no hint of the richly ornamented interior within. The afternoon takes you across the harbor to the Three Cities - Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua - fortified peninsulas that predate Valletta and carry the island's deepest memories. You close the day on the water, boarding a traditional Maltese dghajsa for a harbor cruise, taking in Valletta's golden limestone facades from the perspective they were built to be seen from. ...

    Valletta, Malta
    • Valletta, Malta
    This morning you venture into the Maltese interior, beginning at the Palazzo Parisio in Naxxar before continuing to Rabat, where St Paul's Catacombs reveal the island's early Christian story through an atmospheric underground burial complex. A short walk leads to Mdina - the Silent City, Malta's medieval former capital - where your tour director leads you through narrow lanes and past the cathedral to the ancient bastions, with views stretching across the breadth of the island. The journey continues to Mosta, home to the Rotunda, whose unsupported dome ranks among the largest in Europe. Lunch is served at a local restaurant. The remainder of the afternoon and evening are at leisure. ...

    Valletta, Malta
    • Valletta, Malta
    Today takes you to the prehistoric south of Malta, beginning at the Tarxien Temples - part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Megalithic Temples of Malta, constructed during the 4th and 3rd millennia BC and among the earliest free-standing stone buildings in the world. Each complex is a unique architectural masterpiece, its decorated chambers bearing bas-relief panels of spirals, plants, and animals that speak to a highly organized society of remarkable skill and sophistication. Your journey continues to Hagar Qim, a temple complex of the same era set on a coastal plateau, its monumental limestone slabs framed by an open sweep of Mediterranean sea. From here you descend to the sheltered inlet of Wied iz-Zurrieq and the Blue Grotto - a sequence of sea caves carved into the dramatic limestone cliffs of Malta's southern coast. Subject to weather conditions, a small boat excursion carries you through the caves, where the clarity and color of the water below have drawn visitors for generations. ...
