It is impossible to miss the front gate to the monument city. Usually people don't stay here for long, although there is a lot to see. Like Valletta, it is a fortress city, but not a coastal one, but an older, flat one. The crowds of tourists seem to disappear into it, and you can walk alone here, although the city itself has been walked around several times in an hour. The streets are narrow, but bright because of the local stone. You can explore them for a long time and you won't get bored. There are different routes to get here: we traveled from Paceville on the 120th flight to Sptar, and then on the 181 bus to Rabat. although it is known that descendants of noble families live here, some houses are quite poor, and children from such houses are also dressed accordingly, which does not fit with high titles. And if you look inside, it feels like civilization didn't come everywhere. The monument city is definitely worth a visit if you are in Malta, even if you are not a fan of "Game of Thrones".

Let's start with the fact that this is the ancient capital of Malta. It got its name from the Arabic "Medina" - the holy city for all Muslims. The sight is amazing: You will see a real ancient fortress surrounded by towering stone impregnable walls - everything is as it should be for the times when there were raids by enemies. When you get to the territory of the city, you feel its heartbeat. It's like time has stopped. There's no hurry. And you begin to stroll slowly through the ancient narrow streets, examining the stonework, marveling at the architecture, and drawing images of knights who used to walk along these streets. The city appears to us sunny and warm. And I think it's not the weather, but the atmosphere itself. It is good to read about Mdina in advance in order to know where the attraction is, so that you can approach and study it more closely. But at the tourist office (just outside the city gates, inside), you can ask for a tourist's map with the points recommended for viewing. Of course, do not forget to charge your camera - you will have to take a lot of pictures :)
