A flea market is set up every Sunday morning in front of St Paul's Parish Chuch in the heart of Rabat. Alongside clothing and accessories, you will find a range of traditional souvenirs and foods on sale.
Head to Tal-Virtu, on the outskirts of Rabat. Built on top of the peninsula is a small palace and a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Virtue. It is privately owned, but the surrounding countryside is breathtaking. Also dug into the hill are a number of tombs, dating back to the Norman occupations of the island.
Day trip
Mdina. Next to Rabat is Mdina, the former capital of Malta, also known as the Silent City. Walk over its bridge and through the main gate then go down the weathered stairs to the city's dungeons, or simply wander its narrow winding streets.
