Tips

If you have extra time, add a full‑day trip to the island of Gozo to explore the Azure Window site and the historic Citadel in Victoria; conversely, you can shorten the trip by skipping the Three Cities and focusing solely on Valletta, which will reduce both travel time and costs while still offering a rich Maltese experience.
