Planning it

Visitors can't drive into Mdina. Park in the car parks outside the walls and walk in. Early morning or late afternoon, before and after the tour groups.

Most of these places are a long bus ride apart. Our guide to renting a car in Malta covers parking in Valletta, the Gozo ferry and the road rules.
