Mdina – The Silent City
previous post
Mdina is a fortified city in the Northern Region of Malta, which served as the island’s capital from antiquity to the medieval period. No cars other than emergency vehicles, wedding cars, and horses are allowed in Mdina and is partly why it has earned the nickname The Silent City which is still confined within walls and has a population of just under 300.
Malta is an easy country to explore by bus since most buses travel from one end of the main island to the other with many of them offering fantastic views of the water along the way. If you are wanting to visit Mdina here are a few bus options to get you there.
