faq.subtitle Mdina
Due to its tiny population (about 300 people) and the ban on cars inside the city walls, creating a peaceful, quiet atmosphere.
2-3 hours is enough to explore the main streets and sights. For a full day, combine it with nearby Rabat.
Somewhat challenging. Streets are cobblestone and there are some slopes, but main areas are accessible.
Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) for mild weather. Evening visits are especially beautiful with romantic lighting.
