Mdina, Malta’s Silent City, isn’t so silent after all. On our day trip from Valletta we wandered through its cobbled streets, stopping at palaces, chapels, and viewpoints, while weaving between tourists, carriages, and colourful doorways.

From market snacks in Marsaxlokk to cakes with a view in Mdina and a traditional lunch in Gozo, our week in Malta gave us plenty of foodie moments to remember. Here’s a taste of the best bites from our day trips.
