Self-Guided Valletta Tour: Explore Malta’s Capital on Foot, Valletta, Malta

Explore the capital city of Malta with our self-guided Valletta walking tour. It’s an easy and free way to explore if you have just one day in Valletta.

This Valletta city tour starts just outside the main gates but you can join it at any point along the circular route.

It's located right next to the main Valletta bus terminal and taxi rank if you are taking public transport.
