Hidden Gems of Rabat

Beyond the central squares of Rabat and Mdina lie preserved aristocratic residences and British military relics.

The route follows the Victoria Lines, a 19th-century defensive system, leading to natural viewpoints like Lovers Rock and Gnien tal-Kmand, a historic walled garden established for agricultural experimentation during the early British period.
