18:00 – 23:00 : Social event – Evening in Birgu
The group will meet a licensed tourist guide at 17:45hrs at the Valletta Campus and will walk together to the ferry terminal to catch the 18:15hrs ferry. Crossing to the Three Cities by ferry is the perfect way to appreciate the fortifications of the Grand Harbour. Upon arrival the group will enjoy a walking tour of Birgu (also known as Vittoriosa). Already an important administrative centre during Medieval times, the city served as the very first headquarters of the Knights of the Order of St John in 1530 and has remained a crucial Maritime hub till this very day. The walk will end at 19:45hrs at Cargo's Restaurant for a 3-course menu dinner. Transport back to Valletta after dinner will be provided.
