The tour begins with exploring the narrow streets of Mdina, offering panoramic views of the medieval city's grand palaces and fortified structures.

As the tour concludes, the final highlight is the Sanctuary Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady, also known as the Mosta Rotunda or Mosta Dome. This impressive structure, constructed during the 19th-century, stands out for its large dome, the third-largest unsupported dome globally.
