Trip Highlights
Valletta
Wander the sun-drenched streets of Valletta, where baroque architecture, grand fortifications, and stunning harbors tell the story of the Knights of St. John and centuries of history. From the ornate St. John’s Co-Cathedral to the vibrant waterfront and hidden gardens, every corner reveals Malta’s rich cultural tapestry.
Hagar Qim + Mnajdra + Mdina
Step back in time at Hagar Qim and Mnajdra, where ancient megalithic temples rise dramatically against the Mediterranean sky, offering a glimpse into Malta’s prehistoric past. Wander the silent, winding streets of Mdina, the “Silent City,” where medieval walls, baroque palaces, and panoramic views make every turn feel like a journey through history.
Gozo Island
Explore the rugged beauty of Gozo, where dramatic cliffs, turquoise bays, and charming villages create a peaceful island escape. Discover ancient temples, quaint stone cottages, and the iconic Azure Window site, immersing yourself in Gozo’s rich history and breathtaking natural landscapes.
Maltese Culture & Cuisine
Malta’s rich culinary scene celebrates both tradition and innovation, from sun-soaked vineyards producing distinctive local wines to craft breweries crafting unique, flavorful beers. Savor fresh seafood, artisanal cheeses, and Mediterranean-inspired dishes that reflect the island’s vibrant flavors and centuries of gastronomic heritage.
Three Cities
Step across the water to Malta’s Three Cities — Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua — where fortified walls, narrow streets, and bustling harbors tell centuries of maritime history.

Hotels
We stay in 3 or 4-star hotels, all with private bath/shower in 2-share rooms. Our hotels have been specially selected for their European atmosphere, friendly hospitality, and cleanliness. Our hotels are centrally located or within a short walk of public transportation to take you to the landmark of your choice in the city you are visiting. (Why stay in remote cabins, hostels, or share your room with up to 6 people, when you can stay in a centrally located hotel?)
You’ll be given a complete hotel address list with your final documents. Properties are subject to change and any substitutions would be the equivalent of those listed. All land package rates are based on two people sharing a room. If traveling solo and not wanting to pay the single supplement, AESU will attempt to arrange a share with a same-gender travelers.
