Mdina, Malta, a place steeped in history and one that is close to my heart. This beautiful city is full of magical and colourful streets, making this my top pick of places to visit. Known as the 'silent city,' take in the sights and peaceful silence of Mdina, there are few coffeeshops for those who like to read a book or enjoy a mysterious evening stroll through the narrow streets discovering new nooks and crannines to explore. This beautiful city is the highest point in Malta, sharing a view of the whole island, which opens the opportunity to exploring the island through the naked eye, embracing each and every small village steeped in history that Malta has to offer.
