Mdina is absolutely magical! Staying inside this ancient walled city was a wonderful experience. The architecture is beautiful and there are several restaurants. Only a quick half hour bus ride to Valletta. Rabat is a five min walk and a god place for breakfast and museums, etc. Josephine was a great host and went out of her way helping with info etc and ended up driving us to the airport which was very sweet. Maltese people are so friendly and helpful.
We had limited time but will be back to explore this fabulous country for longer.
