Why go
One of Malta's few wooded areas grew from the Knights' hunting reserve and remains closely associated with the adjoining Verdala Palace. Broadleaved trees, conifers and fruit groves create a setting unlike the island's usual dry scrub. The landscape also provides context for the traditional Imnarja celebrations held around Saints Peter and Paul's feast.
What to look for
- Fruit-tree groves and woodland
- Verdala Palace above the gardens
- The fertile Wied il-Luq valley
Useful to know
- Combine a woodland walk with Dingli Cliffs nearby.
- Treat Verdala Palace as a landmark; check separately for any special public opening.
