Valletta Commonwealth Walkway
[Updated 11/03/2016] A brass information panel on the bridge at City Gate marks the start of the Valletta Commonwealth Walkway. It is the first to be completed in a project to create 100 walkways in the 70 countries of the Commonwealth. The Queen officially opened the walkway during her visit to Malta for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in November 2015. She unveiled the route marker (emblazoned with EIIR) at Customs House on the banks of the Grand Harbour close to where her father King George VI first set foot on the island when he arrived for his wartime visit in 1943. The route circles Valletta then crosses it ‘like a George Cross’, taking in 21 historic sites. An app (so far for iphone/ipad/ipod) provides information about each site and can be downloaded free from http://www.outdoortrust.com/#!valletta-commonwealth-walkway-/dahi1. Alternatively, the same information is available as a free booklet from the tourist information office in the Auberge d’Italie on Merchants Street.
