About this experience

What to expect

Any visit to Malta must include a walk through the historic center of Valletta and a visit to St. John’s Co-Cathedral is a must. At a comfortable pace your guide will unfold the history of this World Heritage Site. You will learn how Valletta began, how it evolved over the centuries, and about the events which shaped it into the city that it is today. As you walk past Auberges, palaces and churches your guide will explain about the Knights of Malta and the city’s connections with the British period. You will also visit gardens, which offer stunning views of Malta's Grand Harbour. The walk ends with a guided tour of St. John's Co-Cathedral, including the oratory which houses Caravaggio's masterpiece "The Beheading of St. John the Baptist". Entrance fee to the church is not included and tickets can be bought at the entrance of the church.
