Exploring the Silent City of Malta: Mdina

Looking for more Malta inspiration? Make sure you check out all of the installments in my Exploring Malta series!!

Mdina, or The Silent City, is one of the most popular day trip spots in Malta and it's easy to see why. This majestic walled city was the capital of Malta for thousands of years until the Order of the Knights of St. John took up residence and moved it, first to Birgu (one of the three cities) and finally to Valletta.

Bucket List for visiting Mdina:

Mdina Gate	St. Paul's Cathedral	Mdina Cathedral Museum	Palazzo Falson
The Mdina Dungeons Museum	St. Paul's Catacombs	Carmelite Priory	Pjazza Mesqutia
The Knights of Malta	Roman Villa	Fontanella Tea Garden	The Mdina Experience

Best time to visit and holidays:

Spring and early summer, April, May, and June is the best time to visit Malta. The weather is not hot (sunny days and the nights are cool) and there are fewer tourists. You'll able to swim if you don't mind the slightly cooler waters.

We went at the beginning of April and the weather was PERFECT! The temperature was great for getting out and exploring without being miserable in the heat.

Hope this inspired you to visit this incredible location! If you are looking for more options check out my Exploring Malta series!
