Welcome to Mdina, the "Silent City".

Step through the ancient Main Gate and wander the narrow, honey-colored limestone streets of this fully pedestrianized medieval town. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, historic palaces and churches, and breathtaking panoramic views from the city bastions.

Mdina, Malta’s former capital, has just over 200 residents and lies on a foothill of the Dingli Plateau. Right next to it is Rabat, offering additional amenities and public parking. The town’s history spans over 4,000 years, and its charming cafés, restaurants, and unique atmosphere make it a must-visit. Parts of Game of Thrones were also filmed here.

Parking Tips:

  • No parking inside Mdina walls.

  • Use public car parks in Rabat, just outside the city gates.

  • Arrive early during peak season to secure a spot.
