Car
If you are traveling by car, start from any location in the Northern Region. Use the main road, Triq l-Imdina (also known as the B'Kara Road), and head towards St Paul's Bay. Once you reach St Paul's Bay, look for signs directing you to Triq San Franġisk. Turn onto Triq San Franġisk, and you will find Torri ta' Wignacourt (Wignacourt Tower) on your left-hand side. There may be limited parking available near the tower, so be mindful of parking regulations.
Public Transportation - Bus
For those opting for public transportation, take Bus Route 202, which connects various towns in the Northern Region to St Paul's Bay. Board the bus at any of the major stops in your area. After approximately 30-40 minutes, disembark at the 'Wignacourt Tower' bus stop. From there, the tower is just a short walk away. Head down Triq San Franġisk, and you will see Torri ta' Wignacourt ahead. Ensure you check the bus schedules ahead of time, as they may vary.
Walking
If you are already in St Paul's Bay and prefer to walk, head towards the waterfront area and follow the promenade. Continue along the coastline until you reach Triq San Franġisk. Once you turn onto this street, Torri ta' Wignacourt will be located a short distance ahead. This walk will take approximately 15-20 minutes from the central area of St Paul's Bay.
