Valletta Self-Guided Audio Tour

About this experience

Book the Valletta self-guided audio tour and immerse yourself in the culture and history of Malta's capital at your own pace. Valletta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the tour shares fascinating facts about landmarks such as the City Gate, the Upper Barrakka Gardens and Fort St. Elmo, with a digital map and commentary in five languages. What the Valletta audio tour covers Valletta is compact, walkable and packed with history, and the audio tour helps you make sense of it. Start at the City Gate, the grand entrance to the walled capital, and explore the streets that lead down towards the harbour. Learn the stories behind the Upper Barrakka Gardens, with their sweeping views over the Grand Harbour, and Fort St. Elmo, which guards the tip of the peninsula. Along the way, the commentary explains how the city grew and what each landmark meant to the people who built it. How the Valletta self-guided audio tour works After booking, you receive instructions to activate the audio tour. Scan the QR code in your confirmation with your phone and the app store opens, downloads the app and logs you in. If you cannot scan a QR code, tap the link below it: on a phone it installs the app and signs you in, and on a computer it shows your login details and download steps. Download the tour over WiFi before you set out, so you are ready to go when you reach the start. Commentary is available in English, Italian, French, German and Spanish, and a digital map of Valletta helps you navigate. There is no live guide, so you start whenever you like. Your ticket gives unlimited access to all self-guided features for the duration of your stay. Plan your own Valletta walks With unlimited access during your stay, you can pinpoint your favourite spots and create walking routes for the best photo opportunities. Valletta's streets are steep in places and the sun can be strong, so take breaks in the shade, carry water and wear comfortable shoes. The tour suits independent travellers, couples and families, including cruise passengers with a few hours ashore, who want context without joining a group. Early mornings and late afternoons are the most comfortable times to walk in summer, and the views from the Upper Barrakka Gardens are especially good as the light softens. Pause the commentary for a coffee in one of the city's squares and continue whenever you are ready.
