Xatt Il-Forn, Birgu (Vittoriosa), Island of Malta BRG 1711 Malta
You know how you always wanted a robot? Well here's one on wheels. Rolling Geeks are cars that talk. No, not like Knightrider - think more like C-3PO ... with attitude. They're little electric powered cars, very easy to drive, complete with pre-programmed GPS showing you where to go, and what to look at when you're there. With Rolling Geeks you get all of the knowledge of a tour guide, but with the freedom to park up, get out, and explore whenever you want to - and trust us, you'll want to. In just 2.5 hours you can see 3 of the richest historical cities in Malta, discovering incredible areas you just couldn't manage in a whole day on foot. Enjoy the sights of Birgu (Vittoriosa), Isla (Senglea), Bormla (Cospicua) and Kalkara, while the car tells you about them in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Russian or Mandarin. And the car takes also selfies!! Rolling Geeks are tours with street smarts - it's how we roll.

Fort St Angelo
Birgu Waterfront, Birgu (Vittoriosa), Island of Malta BRG 1023 Malta

Strategically located on a hillock, at the end of the Birgu peninsula, the fort dominates the Grand Harbour. During the Second World War, Fort St Angelo offered protection against Axis air raids and suffered 69 direct hits. After the war, the fort continued to serve as the headquarters of the Royal Navy in Malta, until the last detachment of foreign forces departed Fort St Angelo in March 1979. Fort St Angelo offers spectacular panoramic views of the Grand Harbour and its surrounding fortified towns.

Inquisitor's Palace
Main Gate Street Triq Il-Palazz Ta' L-Isqof, Birgu (Vittoriosa), Island of Malta 1023 Malta
The Inquisitor's Palace, situated in the heart of Vittoriosa, is one of the very few surviving palaces of its kind which, in the early modern period could be found all over Europe and South America. Many of these palaces simply succumbed to the ravages of time or were victims of the anti-reactionary power unleashed by the French Revolution. Fortunately, the Maltese Inquisitor's Palace, throughout its five centuries of history, always hosted high-ranking officials representing the main powers on the island, who therefore ensured its survival.
