What people say

"A city where you can’t get by car, You’ll have to walk there leaving Your car outside the Mdina Gate. With its unique blend of medieval and baroque architecture, Mdina is one of the best-preserved old-walled cities in Europe. The town serves as a market for the extensive farming region surrounding it. Tourists flock there to see the Roman Villa (Domus Romana), the catacombs, St. Paul’s Grotto, and the many beautiful churches and monasteries in the area."

"Our previous capital city, also know as the Silent City 🎬 Mdina's Gate was features in the 3rd episode of game of Thrones 📍 While you're here, make sure to try out Pastizzi from Crystal Palace/Is-Serkin. Pastizzi are savoury pastries filled with cheese, pease, or chicken. This spot is the most authentic on the island 👌🏼"

"The best way to visit Mdina is to start with the entrance through the majestic City Gate, and then everything depends on us. The town is so small that we will probably get anywhere sooner or later."

Mentioned in these guides

Where else but in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea might you find such a little, gorgeous island? Malta is a lovely place to go for a summer beach holiday, however… the islands of Malta have a rich history that has yet to be explored. Will a week be sufficient? Due to its compact size, Malta allows visitors to maximize their sightseeing potential. This Itinerary is based on my explorations and carefully chosen places based on the best reviews, and my experience for an amazing road trip in Malta in the offseason. There are three islands to choose from, but You will only have time to explore two of them—Malta and Gozo—in just seven days. If You go in the off-season, however, You may also have time to visit Comino. Don’t waste Your money and time staying in different places if you’re traveling just for a week, do it only if it’s Your comfy home on wheels and you’re staying there. To give you an idea of how effective this can be, consider the following: two nights at one hotel on the island of Gozo, remaining nights in one hotel on the Maltese mainland, and one day of exploration in Comino without lodging. If you’re flying and hiring a car at the airport, Gozo as a first destination will be more convenient, but for the following days, explore Malta’s mainland. The streets are mostly tiny in Malta so be prepared for that.
