Malta’s capital city, Valletta, was built by the Knights of St. John more than 400 years ago. It is a historic city, but also a living, working one, the administrative and commercial heart of the Islands. In the mornings the city is visited by thousands of people, some on their way to work, others to shop or to learn more about its history. But what happens at night? This city has throughout the centuries witnessed death, murders, executions, plots and who knows what else.

Join our Valletta Ghost Tour if you dare, to hear a selection of these stories as we take a walk through the dark and deserted streets of night-time Valletta, and perhaps experience something for yourself.
