North Route, Valleta, Malta (March 2020)

We took the North Route tour the following day after the South Route tour.

The tour began also from the Sliema Ferries stop. It also went into Valleta and passed through part of the city. 




We passed through a town called Mosta located in the northern region of Malta. It is a small town but very densely populated due to its transportation importance. Mosta's iconic building is Rotunda, a large basilica built by the volunteers.



We made a stop at Mdina, Malta's ancient capital and heavily fortified with moat and stone walls. Walking around the city inside a fortified wall was quite interesting. It reminded me of many castles that we saw in Italy's Tuscany Region.






It is very common to walk on these stone streets between buildings in the castle.



The view from the palace was panoramic.










Riding the open-air bus in the scenic route in the beautiful island alone was refreshing and relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed the bus tour. - Jeffrey
