Mdina Old City
A walled hilltop city of silent lanes, palaces and bastion views.
For storytellers
Why Mdina Old City matters
Mdina is a maze of narrow lanes inside thick walls. Walk through the gate, turn into a quiet alley and enjoy the stillness. Small palaces, cafes and shops hide around corners, and from the bastions you can see across the whole island. It is at its best in the evening.
Talking points
- Few cars enter, so the lanes are quiet.
- The bastions overlook most of the island.
- Evenings are especially atmospheric.
