Program details

The three cities are a collective description of the three fortified cities of Cospicua, Vittoriosa and Senglea.



During the tour you will drive past Cospicua, a double-fortified harbour city and the largest of the three.



You will then arrive in Vittoriosa. Vittoriosa is ideally situated for safe anchorage and over time it has developed a very long history with maritime and military activities.



The third city is Senglea. The name Senglea was given by the grandmaster who built it, Claude De La Sengle. The island on which Senglea lies was joined by a land bridge to Cospicua during the time of the Knights of St. John.



During this tour you will walk through the various narrow streets shaded by many historic churches and buildings. You will then drive to the Marsovin Cellars in Marsa. The wine tasting tour commences with a historical introduction amongst original artefacts, followed by an explanation about the process of how the locally grown grapes are pressed, fermented and eventually transformed into wine. The wine sampling is held in the Marsovin wine bar, where trained staff guide guests trough a wine tasting session to sample different Marsovin wines accompanied by a selection of local savouries like maltese bread and cheese.
