There will be four sessions available at 9am, 10am, 11am and noon. A maximum of 10 students can join each session.

The Student Passport Visa is given to students after they collect 10 stamps in their passport by visiting 10 different Heritage Malta sites and museums.

The event is open exclusively to Heritage Malta Student Passport Visa holders. Those wishing to attend need to book in advance. Tickets are on a first-come, first-served basis from all Heritage Malta sites and museums.
