Entirely surrounded by ancient ramparts, Mdina Malta is a magical place where the modern age seems far away. This picturesque, medieval walled city has a special enchantment, found in the enclosed labyrinth of narrow, twisting streets and the old sandstone buildings that glow a rosy hue in the sunlight. Quiet lanes lead to shaded courtyards, and magnificent palaces are hidden behind large wooden doorways. Mdina (also known as Città Vecchia) is a popular day-trip destination from Valletta, but by evening, the town lives up to its reputation as the “Silent City.” Mdina overlooks a tranquil countryside of rolling hills, and borders Rabat outside its western ramparts.

The UNESCO -listed capital of Malta stands proudly on one of Europe’s grandest harbours, surrounded by some of the mightiest fortifications in the world.

Istria’s historic main city of Pula is symbolised by its Roman amphitheatre, scene of a surprisingly wide range of outdoor events every summer. Festivals of film and electronic music, and concerts by everyone from Elton John to José Carreras, fill the 2,000-year-old arena, with its near intact walled ring. Roman remains also form Pula’s city centre, dominated by a hilltop Venetian fortress. With docks rather than beaches nearby, many head south for out-of-town seaside fun in Verudela and Medulin. Roman Amphitheatre Pula’s most famous and imposing sight is this 1st-century oval amphitheatre, overlooking the harbour northeast of the old town. It’s a huge and truly magnificent structure, slotted together entirely from local limestone and known locally as the Arena. Designed to host gladiatorial contests and seating up to 20,000 spectators , it still serves the mass-entertainment needs of the local populace in the shape of concerts and film-festival screenings.

There’s more to see in Rijeka than first meets the eye. A major harbour and transport hub, home of Croatia’s liveliest carnival, Rijeka contains attractions from a top-notch contemporary art museum to a stately palace from the Habsburg days. Governor’s Palace With views over the Adriatic from its high vantage point, the Governor’s Palace was built by Hungarian architect Alajos Hauszmann, responsible for similar grandiose works around Budapest in the 1800s. In the aftermath of World War I, revolutionary Italian warrior poet Gabriele d’Annunzio seized the occasion to invade Rijeka and position himself as governor of his own private fiefdom, based here. Mussolini soon chased him out. There’s more to the place today than just bizarre European history — the Governor’s Palace houses the Rijeka City Museum and the Maritime & History Museum of the Croatian Coast. Trsat Castle To reach Trsat Castle, you need to climb the grandiose staircase that runs from Titov trg n...
