Valletta was laid out in the 1500s by the Order of St John after the Great Siege, and the whole city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The streets run straight down to the harbour, which makes it easy to walk but hard to read without someone pointing out what the palaces, auberges and churches were for.
The free tour starts at the Parliament building on Republic Street and stays in the old centre. Booking costs nothing and you tip the guide at the end, as much or as little as you feel it was worth.
Good to know before you go
- Summer afternoons are hot and the stone streets hold the heat: take water and a hat, or choose a morning slot.
- Valletta is built on a hill, so the streets that run towards the harbour are steep. Wear shoes with grip.
- The tour does not include entry to St John's Co-Cathedral or other sights; those are separate tickets if you want to go inside afterwards.
