But what happens at night, when the shops and the offices close? This city has throughout the centuries witnessed death, murders, executions and plots. It is not surprising that there are many ghost stories told about Valletta, as it seems that there could still be some earthbound spirits attached to these historic places, still looking for eternal peace or vengeance. Join our Valletta Ghost Tour, to hear a selection of these stories as we walk through the dark and deserted streets of night-time Valletta, and perhaps experience something for yourself.
