3. Mdina

Often referred to as the "Silent City," Mdina is a medieval walled town with narrow streets, ancient palaces, and breathtaking views. Propose in the romantic setting of the Mdina Dungeons, at the Bastion Square overlooking the countryside, or during a horse-drawn carriage ride through the city.

6. The Three Cities

Explore the historic streets and waterfront promenades of Birgu, Senglea, and Cospicua, collectively known as the Three Cities. Propose in one of the charming squares, such as Birgu's Couvre Porte Square or Senglea's Gardjola Gardens, with views of the Grand Harbour.
