Day 1. Welcome to Sliema!
Touch down on the amazing island nation of Malta and enjoy a transfer to your hotel. Off the coast between North Africa and Sicily, Malta is dotted with fantastic beaches, dreamy coastlines, fortresses, megalithic temples, and more!
Transfer to hotel
Check-in - AX The Palace Malta
Welcome to AX The Palace – a 5-star luxury hotel in the heart of Sliema. This hotel offers the best of both worlds: city life and serene, panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. Situated in Malta’s main shopping district, the hotel is close to dining outlets and the area's nightlife. From your luxurious accommodation, you can take a short walk to the island's largest promenade.
Day 2. Sliema
Enjoy your included half-day tour of the stunning capital city of Valletta. Known for its museums, palaces, and grand churches, be sure to bring your camera to capture this city that seems to glow in the sunlight, radiating warmth and history down every narrow stone street.
Valletta City Tour (half-day)
Discover the beauty and charm of the fortified city built by the Knights of St. John in 1566 - the capital of Malta, Valletta. The Order of St. John ruled over the islands for 268 years and left a unique cultural legacy of which Valletta is the prime example. Take in the beautiful views over the Grand Harbor from the Upper Barrakka Gardens before heading out to visit St. John's Co-Cathedral. Admire Flemish tapestries, the church museum, Caravaggio masterpieces in the Oratory, and the beautiful marble inlaid floors.
Going down Republic Street, walk past the Grand Master's Palace and the recently restored St. George's Square before enjoying an audio-visual show of Malta's history.
Day 3. Sliema
Venture out for your included full-day tour of Gozo, where rural hiking paths run along the countryside, Ggantija Temple ruins are strewn about historical sites, beaches stretch for miles and scuba-diving can be found at multiple sites.
Gozo Tour including lunch (full-day)
Take a 20-minute ferry ride to Malta's sister island, Gozo. While both islands are similar in history, Gozo has more hills and has rolling green landscapes in its favor. During this excursion, visit the site where the Azure Window once stood before its collapse at Dwejra. Fans of the wildly popular show, Game of Thrones, will enjoy a tour of the location where the scene of Daenerys and Drogo's wedding was shot in the first season. The area was transformed for the screen by covering the ground in mesh and covering it with sand to create a desert-like environment.
After the stop, you'll also see the citadel in Victoria, the bay of Xlendi, and more. You'll also have free time for shopping - Gozo is renown for its woolen goods and handmade lace.
Day 4. Sliema
Enter the fortified city of Mdina today. This city sits in the center of the island of Malta and was once the capital of the nation during the medieval period. Enjoy the wonders this city has to offer from subterranean, winding catacombs to towering, colorful cathedrals.
Day 5. Sliema
Consider renting a boat to explore some of the other islands nearby in the archipelago. In Comino, the tiny island between Gozo and Malta, you can snorkel in the Blue Lagoon. This tiny slice of heaven is one of the most beautiful places in all of Malta.
Day 6. Depart Malta
Make sure you've got all of your souvenirs before your transfer to the airport to catch your flight home!
