Join us on a 2-hour walking tour through a fortified city once ruled by the Knights of St. John as we make our way through the narrow streets and quaint alleys of the ‘collacchio’. Visit a historic piazza and stroll along the picturesque Birgu and Cosipicua waterfronts, once home to galleys and pirate ships, now adorned with luxurious yachts.
Scheduled to operate on Tuesdays
This 2 hour walking tour will step you back in time, to an era dominated by the gallant Knights of St. John. We start at the entrance to this fortified city and make our way through three gateways. Our walking tour will take us to the heart of the city, through the narrow streets and quaint alleys known as the 'collacchio', an area of old Palazzo's which were the original Auberges occupied by the Knights'. We will visit the quaint piazza, the heart and sole of this ancient community before joining the waterfront. The Birgu and Cosipicua waterfronts are considered to be one of the most beautiful harbours around the Maltese islands. In the past they would have been occupied by galleys and pirate ships, nowadays magnificent yachts occupy the berths.
At this stage, the 2 hour walking tour comes to an end, however, if you would like to join our guide on the Grand Harbour Ferry, a small supplement of €2 applies.
