Great "Must See" Destination On Any Visit To Malta
Turska Says: Keep your eyes open while walking around Mdina. There are lot´s of nice things to see, if you just notice them. Little things like knockers at doors, the doors themselves, statues up at the roofs and of course the Maltese balconys!And the walking costs nothing! I think there...
Turska Says: I wanted to visit a place called Medieval Times at Mdina. I´m interested at that time. We walked the town three times trieing to find the place,m and when we finally noticed it´s inside of some souvenir shop and cafe, and went in, we were trying to find the ticket seller....
Palazzo Falson Historic House Museum
starship Says: Another museum which I would have found very interesting but did not have time to see during our brief visit to Mdina was the Palazzo Falson Historic House Museum -- the palazzo and its notable collections.Palazzo Falson was the former home of Capt. Olaf Frederick Gollcher,...
Take an Inexpensive Self-Guided Audio Tour
starship Says: For an inexpensive, but assisted tour of the city of Mdina, consider taking a self-guided audio tour by "Discover Mdina." The audio-tour takes you to 18 of the most important sights in Mdina including Vilhena Palace, Mdina Gate, Palazzo Falson, St. Paul's Square, etc....
starship Says: I took a photo of this sign because it mentioned "The Silent City." I believe the sign hung above a shop I visited to buy postcards and souvenirs. However, returning from our trip I researched the name and found that "Tales of the Silent City" is really a tourist attraction...
starship Says: The plaque on the wall of the Monastery of St. Peter interested me initially for two reasons: 1) In general, a building housing nuns (in my country) is called a "convent" versus a "monastary" which is for priests, monks or brothers; 2) the plaque says that it is the home of...
The square at the end of the main street
globetrott Says: This is the large square at the end of the main street of Mdina, the place, from where you have a great panorama-view of almost all directions of the island of Malta and this sqaure has some interesting buildings as well and also the only restaurant that I saw in Mdina,...
globetrott Says: The main street of Mdinawill show you all the most important sights of Mdina: It will take you from Mdina-gate to the viewpoint in the north of town and you will pass by St. Aghatha's church, the cathedral and the Carmelite monastery.Dont miss the great balconies of the...
globetrott Says: This old palazzo is opposite of the luxury hotel Xara Palace and you can take a look inside its innercourt free of charge and without restrictions during daytime.There was a flag of Malta and the flag of the EU on this building, so maybe its one of the EU-bureaus of the...
The museum of St. Pauls Cathedral
globetrott Says: The museum of St. Pauls Cathedral might be worth a visit in case that you have enough time in Mdina. The entrancefee for this museum is included in the entrancefee to St. Pauls Cathedral, but I was in a hurry and had to skip it. Photography is no problem inside the...
5 Reviews and 81 Opinions I did not stay in this hotel, but I passed by it, when walking through the old town of Mdina. b.t.w....
Fontanella tea garden: What a view, what a cake!
Turska Says: We came here because of the view I had heard so much about. And the cakes everybody seems to be so exated about. And both things were true. Cakes were good and so was the view.I was sorry we didn´t know there is also good variety of salty snacks, now we didn´t have roomfor...
Old City: If on a winter's night a traveler in Mdina
Aunt_Bertha Says: The beautiful and silent city of Mdina is unfortunately a little less silent than expected because frequently it's full of tourists who are not so silently walking around its silent streets. This is the experience I had when I visited there in May. Although I liked Mdina a...
HORSCHECK Says: We arrived in Mdina by bus #81 from Verdala Palace (Buskett Gardens) and we left Mdina by bus to Valletta. The route between Valetta and Mdina/Rabat is served by bus #80 and #81. A single ticket for both routes cost 0,47 Euro (November 2010).Tickets have to be bought...
globetrott Says: Lots of horse-carriages are waiting at Howard Garden ( that is the park in front of Mdina-gate, where all the tourbuses will drop their passangers). A ride in such a carriage might make sense for elderly or handicapped people, but for ordinary tourists it is certainly the...
Mdina is heaven for Door-knocker - spotters
globetrott Says: All over Malta you will see great and fancy door-knockers and here in Mdina they had even been a bit more special in my opinion. These 5 pics here are the very best of my collection of Door-knockers in Mdina. Most of the larger ones are totally fixed nowadays to the doors,...
HORSCHECK Says: Kinnie is a maltese non-alcoholic soft drink with a bitter sweet taste. It is made from bitter oranges and several aromatic herbs. The drink was developed by the Malteses company Simonds Farsons Cisk in 1952 as an alternative to Cola.My first encounter with Kinnie was on the...
Forget about the Minibus-tours for 6,50 euros
globetrott Says: Forget about the Minibus-tours for 6,50 euros to Mdina , Mosta & Rabat ! From Valetta,Sliema and other places in Malta you can book a halfdaytour in a minibus to Rabat, Mdina and Mostar for 6,50 euros p.p. In principle that is just a transfer to these places with a tiny bit...
HORSCHECK Says: Mdina's Tourist Information Office is located in the Torre dello Standardo building at St Publius Square, just behind the Main Gate. It provides a wide range of free brochures not only about Mdina but also about other cities of Malta, as well as about the bus routes on the...
globetrott Says: Mosta - a giant cathedral for just 19.000 inhabitantsis the title of my Mosta-page and in fact this church looks extremely oversized: The cuppola of the Rotunda is the world's forth largest unsupported dome with an internal diameter of 37.2 metres. You will be able to enter...
globetrott Says: Casino Notabile in Rabatwas in quite a poor condition when I saw it , but a restauration is going on, I took my pics in Nov. 2010 and I hope it will be finished untill I return again to Malta. This building was constructed in 1887 and it once used to be a club for the High...

A: Mdina is the most romantic of all. The fortress is always silent and gives one a very special feeling. Rabata and Mosta are not so majestic. As for size, all are huge

Mdina was the original capital of Malta until the knights arrived and chose Vittoriosa and then Valletta. It's known as "The Silent City" most probably because it is largely traffic free - it's...
