Before you go

Where you meet

The group gathers under the Parliament building on Republic Street, right in front of Café Royale. Your guide holds a blue umbrella, and it helps to arrive at least 10 minutes early.

The route

The walk passes the Auberge de Castille et d’Italie, the Victory Kitchen and Merchant Street, then the Church of Santiago and St John’s Co-Cathedral. It is a talk-and-walk through the old town, not a substitute for going inside the monuments.
