Compare Car Hire in Mdina

A famous fortified city in northern Malta, Mdina served as the island nation’s capital from the time of the ancients to the middle ages. The city proper still thrives within its impressive walls although it’s now joined to the neighbouring town of Rabat and while the former has a tiny population of around 300, the latter is larger (by Maltese standards) and has around 11,000 inhabitants. Founded back in the 8th century by Phoenician settlers and originally named Maleth, it was christened Melite by the Romans and adopted its present name (which stems from the Arabic ‘Medina’) in the middle ages. Nicknamed ‘the Silent City’, its historic, architectural and cultural significance means it’s one of Malta’s main attractions for British tourists. Hiring a car in Mdina is easy with Enjoy Travel and you’ll bag an early bird bargain if you arrange ahead of time. For instance, a mini-sized car like a Chevrolet Spark is around £4 a day, a Volkswagen Polo is just £9 a day and a compact Ford Fiesta is just £10 a day.

Guide to Mdina

With its hilltop location offering panoramic views across swathes of Malta and remarkably well preserved ancient buildings, Mdina makes up for its small size with a wealth of attractions and a rich history. First inhabited back in 700BC, it was built as a strategic military location, and it served as the islands capital until the Knights of Malta took power in 1530. Mdina’s main entrance might also look familiar – it was featured heavily in TV smash Game of Thrones.
