Step Back in Time: Why Mdina in Malta Should Be on Your Travel List

If you're planning a trip to Malta and want to experience more than just beaches and blue lagoons (though those are fantastic too), let me introduce you to one of the island's best-kept secrets: Mdina. This town in central Malta is steeped in history, dripping in charm, and perfect for anyone who loves getting lost in time.

🌟Mdina: The Silent City
They call it the "Silent City", and it lives up to the name. Mdina is perched on a hilltop and surrounded by ancient fortified walls. Cars are almost entirely banned (except for a handful of residents), making it an incredibly peaceful place to explore.

Wandering through Mdina feels like walking through a film set. The golden limestone buildings, narrow winding alleyways, and ornate doorways are straight out of a medieval fairytale. It’s no wonder Mdina has been used as a filming location for Game of Thrones.

🤩 Must See in Mdina:
⛪ St. Paul’s Cathedral – An architectural gem. The interior is stunning with its painted ceilings and inlaid marble floors. Don't forget to check out the museum next door.
⛓️Mdina Dungeons – A slightly eerie but fascinating way to learn about Malta’s darker past. Great for anyone who enjoys a bit of spookiness.
🎑Panoramic views – Head to the bastion walls near Fontanella Tea Garden. The views stretch for miles across Malta and are breathtaking, especially at sunset. #mdinamalta #malta #maltatravel

Whether you’re a history lover, a photographer, or just someone who appreciates beauty and calm, this is a must-see on any Maltese itinerary.
