Free visit to Citadel, museums are pay on entry. A really good wander. We did Mdina on ferry trip and hop on hop off bus. Only had time for 3 stops but all worked as we hoped. Spoke to another couple who did coach tour in the same time and they described it as a hurded tour

The Citadel in Victoria is a must visit if on the island of Gozo. There are several museums and interesting features within the Citadel as well as the Cathedral in St John Paul II square. All are worth visiting but if you do intend to fully explore the Citadel it can take a good 3hrs. It is possible to explore the walls and the ditch surrounding the Citadel. There is an interpretation centre which is run by Heritage Malta and a multi site ticket within the Citadel is available. This does not include the Cathedral or the Cathedral Museum, which are extra. Definitely worth a visit, I’ve been man6 times and always see / learn something new.

We came up here late evening for a wander. It is free to walk around and was lovely lit up. Felt a bit surreal it was so quiet. Plenty of signs around with information on them for you to appreciate the heritage and history of the site. Recommend for a lovely evening walk from your hotel.

The citadel, ex fortification is beautifully restored and offers a unique back in time travel. Visiting the cittadella is for free, but buying a cheap ticket in order to visit the interesting museums intra muros is recommended! (Old Prison, museum of Archeology, museum of Natural History, Gran Castello Historic house etc). Great history, great views, great for picture taking .... Check opening times, especially during "winter season"! In February 2024, we had a superb visit, perfect weather and not overcrowded 🌞

Revised review: During our tour, we only had 30 minutes to fully explore this expansive location, but I could easily envision spending half a day here. Positioned at a high vantage point, the views of the island are spectacular, offering glimpses of various villages identifiable by their churches. While admission is free, additional fees apply for access to the jails, which we would have gladly paid had we more time available.

Arrived about 11am but was already very busy, could be because of cruise ship excursions. A few hours later we found it much quieter and was able to appreciate this beautiful area more peacefully. Well preserved and clean. Found the bus from the ferry terminal crowded so we used Bolt, quick and simple.

It is quite a steep climb up but it is so worth it. The views are fabulous. You can see for miles, pretty much the whole of Gozo is laid out for you. The history is fascinating as well. There is a museum though we had our own tour guide. Well worth a walk round.

The stunning panoramic views, rich history, and beautifully preserved architecture make it a highlight of any visit. Wandering through its ancient streets feels like stepping back in time. An unforgettable experience!

We enjoyed a short stop here on our tour. There’s a lift now which negates a lot of the steep climb to gain entry. There is a small but interesting museum and the cafe on the battlements is a great place to enjoy the spectacular views of Gozo with a glass of local wine. The Citadel is a fine place to wander around and enjoy the architecture.
