Mdina (and that’s pronounced “Im-Deenah”, if you’re wondering)

Narrow streets

Almost six months after arriving in Malta, myself and Dany finally got our respective asses in gear and went to visit what I remember some guidebook or other describing as the ‘jewel in the crown’ of Malta.  Or something like that.  Anyway it is very well worth a visit and shame on me for not doing so earlier.  You get to Mdina from St Julian’s on the 202 or 203 bus which takes what feels like a ridiculously convoluted route, but that’s a complaint for another day.  Mdina is the old walled city which is now effectively part of the town of Rabat, and you can while away an hour or so wandering through it’s tiny streets and checking out cathedrals and museums and suchlike.


You can buy famous Mdina glass here and also visit the Mdina dungeons.  I did neither of these things and am now feeling some non-buyer remorse.  Next time.


But what you Have To Do in order to properly enter Mdina into the ‘visited’ column is to go and order yourself some cake in the Fontanella Tea Garden.  It doesn’t count otherwise…
