Enjoy 30–40 minutes of free time or opt for a guided visit to St. John’s Co-Cathedral (ticket not included), an awe-inspiring masterpiece completed in 1577, renowned for its intricate design and world-class art. Our expert guides will enrich your experience with captivating stories that bring Valletta’s past to life.

Before concluding, you may also attend an optional audiovisual show about Malta’s dramatic history (ticket not included)—an engaging and educational finale to your journey.
