Day 12 Optional Hagar Qim & the Three Cities tour

$140.00/person

Optional Tour: Travelers on our Hagar Qim and the Three Cities optional tour will begin at Hagar Qim, one of Malta's best-known prehistoric temples. This megalithic temple complex, whose name translates to “free-standing boulders,” was constructed more than 5,200 years ago. The large stone complex contains rooms formerly devoted to animal sacrifices, burnt offerings, and ritual oracles, making it one of the oldest religious sites on Earth.

Next, explore the area Napoleon dubbed “The Three Cities,” settled as early as the time of the Phoenicians. A trio of historic fortified towns—Cospicua, Senglea, and Vittoriosa—ring the Grand Harbor.

Lunch: Lunch at a local restaurant in Vittoriosa.

Afternoon: Tour concludes in Vittoriosa, where you’ll have some time to discover its medieval charms independently. Some refer to Vittoriosa as a "mini Valletta," full of relics hailing from the Middle Ages dotting crooked yet pristine alleyways. In the mid-afternoon, you’ll return to the ship and greet the rest of your fellow travelers.
