Mdina, Malta: How We Got an Ancient City All to Ourselves

Описание: Is Mdina, Malta truly the "Silent City"? Most tourists only visit for the day, but we booked a rare overnight stay to find out what happens when the gates close. In this episode, we show you how to explore Malta’s ancient capital without the crowds and reveal if staying in a luxury hotel inside the walls is worth the price tag.

We start in Mosta at the incredible Rotunda, one of Europe’s largest unsupported domes. You’ll hear the true story of the WWII "miracle bomb" that fell through the roof during mass but didn't explode, and we explore the shelters dug by the local community, a place that still feels heavy with history.

From there, it’s a short hop to Mdina. By day it’s busy, but once the sun sets, the atmosphere changes completely. Cars are banned, the warm lanterns turn on, and the narrow streets become a quiet maze that feels like a film set. We managed to secure this experience for a surprisingly low rate, proving you don't need to break the bank for a bucket list stay.

The next morning, as the crowds return, we wander into neighbouring Rabat to explore the "city of the dead" and its Roman history.
