Mdina and Dingli Cliffs Day trip

The walled city of Mdina is one of the most beautiful in Malta. Discover its charm on this excursion which also takes you to the famous Dingli Cliffs.

Description

When making your reservation you can choose one of the following options:

Half-Day Trip (4.5 hours)

Having picked you up at the meeting point, we'll hit the road towards Mdina, a historic walled city found only 30 minutes from the Maltese capital. The tour crosses the famous Greek Port to tour the narrow winding streets of the old town, where we'll find architectural marvels such as the Cathedral of St. Paul, learning about the fraught tale of the apostle's journey to the island.

The excursion then continues to the imposing Dingli Cliffs. These sheer rock faces looking out onto the Mediterranean, which are in some areas up to 250 metres high are known as being one of southern Malta's most beautiful natural sights.

Then our final stop comes in Attard, where we'll enjoy the peace and quiet of San Anton Gardens: a beautiful public park found next to the Maltese President's official residence. And from here the tour heads back to your hotel.

Full-Day Trip (8.5 hours)

The morning will follow the same itinerary as the half-day excursion, including a stop to visit the Christian catacombs of Rabat after the visit to the old town of Mdina. We'll then see the cliffs of Dingli, and return to Mdina to refuel with lunch in town. The menu includes: starter, main course, dessert and wine.

Then, having eaten we tour the Saint Anthony's Gardens, and make our way to Ta’Qali, where you're sure to be amazed by the number and quality of products manufactured on the Maltese archipelago.

Finally, we'll head to Mosta, to visit the Parish Church of the Assumption, popularly known as 'The Roundabout'. Can you guess the size of its gigantic dome?! Then, from Mosta, we'll begin the journey back to the hotels on the island.

Hotel Pickup

The tour includes pick up between 8:30 and 9:30 am at the main hotels on the island of Malta. After making your reservation, we'll reach out to arrange the exact time and place of pickup. Please note that instead of picking you up at your accommodation, we'll pick you up at a hotel or meeting point close to your accommodation.

How Does It Work?

This excursion offers two distinct trip durations: a half-day option of 4.5 hours or a full-day experience of 8.5 hours. Both options begin with hotel pick-up between 8:30 and 9:30 am from main hotels in Malta.

The half-day trip provides a glimpse of the enchanting Mdina, including the Greek Port and St. Paul's Cathedral, followed by a visit to the Dingli Cliffs and a serene stop at San Anton Gardens before returning to your hotel.

The full-day trip includes everything in the half-day tour, with the addition of a visit to the Christian catacombs of Rabat, a lunch stop in Mdina featuring a starter, main course, dessert, and wine, as well as a visit to Ta’Qali for local craftsmanship. The final highlight is the Parish Church of the Assumption in Mosta before heading back to accommodations.

Both experiences offer insights into Malta's rich history and breathtaking landscapes, ensuring a memorable exploration of the island.
