Self-Guided Walking Tours in Malta

1 free self-guided walking tour, with an audio guide at every stop.

Valletta was built by the Knights of St John after the Great Siege of 1565 and the whole city is a UNESCO World Heritage site: a grid of baroque streets on a peninsula between two harbours.

Our self-guided walk enters through the City Gate, visits St John's Co-Cathedral and the Grandmaster's Palace, climbs to the Upper Barrakka Gardens above the Grand Harbour and descends to the Valletta Waterfront. About 45 minutes and 1.9 km, with steps.

Free, no app, no signup: the narration for each stop plays as you arrive.
