    Beautiful area, so clean. Dates back to the times of the Romans and Phoenicians and was rebuilt by the Knights of St John. Really feel like you have stepped back in time. My favourite area in Malta!

  • Called into Mdina whilst on the hop on hop off bus tour. Well worth a visit. Beautiful place, full of narrow walkways and stunning buildings like St Paul's cathedral. Mdina is free from cars so a bit of walking is required, but once you reach the city walls you will be rewarded with views right to the coast.
