A key part of your language travel experience happens once classes are over. The best way to practise your new language skills is to get out and use them in the real world. We know you will also want to find out about the country you are visiting, to sample the lifestyle of her people and to explore the area. In each of our locations LAL excels in providing social and leisure activities that are fun, engaging and good value for money.

The tour will continue with a visit to Dingli cliffs, known as the highest cliffs on the island.
The Three Cities Tour: Students will step back through the mists of time as they are taken to the fortress of Cottonera which is widely known as the three cities, these being Vittoriosa, Cospicua and Senglea, built and fortified by the Knights of Malta. The tour will start with an informative drive through Cospicua followed by a visit to Vittoriosa. Here students will navigate the narrow streets and mysterious alleyways shaded by many historic palaces and churches.
