Tour Description


Join me on this walking tour of Birgu(Vittoriosa) which is the ideal way to see the main highlights of this ancient maritime city.

We will start our tour from the main entrance to the city, known as Advanced Gate.

After we go through Advanced Gate, Couvre Porte and Gate of Provence we pass the Inquisitor's Palace before entering the Collacchio. I will point out the Executioner's house, the quaint street known as 'Steps Street', Auberge de France, Auberge d'Angleterre and Victory Square.

We Walk past St Joseph's Oratory through St. Lawrence's Close and also past the parish church of Birgu, which was the original conventual church of the Order before St John's in Valletta. We end up on the impressive Birgu waterfront. We can take a stroll along the waterfront admiring the palazzos and warehouses from the time of the Knights, on to Fort St. Angelo and you can admire the stunning views across the harbour.

I can escort you back to the start point or you may want to have a meal, snack or a drink at one of the seafront cafes or restaurants and enjoy the great views for a little longer.
