Traditional Maltese Bus Heritage and Historical Tour Experience

Step back in time on a nostalgic journey aboard a traditional Maltese bus, locally known as xarabank or karozza tal-linja. These colourful vintage buses, dating from the 1950s to the 1970s, are celebrated for their unique designs, handcrafted details, and cultural significance. Once a familiar sight across Malta’s streets, these beautifully decorated vehicles are now preserved for special occasions and memorable tourist experiences.

Travel aboard this historic bus while discovering the fascinating stories behind its custom features, including polished chrome details, decorative artwork, murals, lucky charms, and personal touches that reflected Maltese traditions. The journey begins with a visit to the Malta Aviation Museum in Ta Qali, where guests can explore more than a century of aviation history, including historic aircraft from the Second World War and post-war periods.

Continue to the Sanctuary Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady in Mosta, widely known as the Mosta Dome. Admire this impressive neoclassical masterpiece featuring one of the world’s largest unsupported domes, along with stunning interior murals, gilded ceilings, marble floors, and detailed artwork created by local artists. Discover the fascinating story of the Second World War bomb that fell inside the church but failed to explode, an event remembered as miraculous.

The final stop takes you to the World War Two Shelter, a historic underground refuge created by hand during wartime air raids to protect local communities. Complete the experience with a tasting of traditional Maltese savouries while an experienced guide shares engaging stories, historical insights, and cultural details throughout this unforgettable journey through Malta’s heritage.
