- Auberge de Castille: Stand before the most magnificent of the seven palaces built for the Knights of St. John. Once the seat of the powerful Spanish and Portuguese knights, it now serves as the office of the Prime Minister.
- The Upper Barrakka Gardens: Pause for the most iconic view in the Mediterranean. As you look across the Grand Harbour toward the Three Cities, your guide will recount the naval battles and Great Sieges that shaped the fate of Europe.
- Republic Street & St. George’s Square: Stroll the city’s main artery, passing the Courts of Justice and the Grand Master’s Palace, the historic seat of power for the island's rulers for over 400 years.
- Cultural Crossroads: Wind through the limestone streets to see the Palazzo Parisio and the bustling Merchant Street, where the daily life of Vallettans has unfolded for centuries.
