Malta · RABAT
Rabat sits immediately outside Mdina’s walls, with St Paul’s Grotto and a run of Roman-era catacombs under it. These 15 tours nearly all take both towns in one go — compared here on how much underground time you actually get, and what each costs.
Explore Mdina and Rabat on a guided walking tour, then enter catacombs, St Paul’s Grotto, and WW2 shelters. Great value.
