Why Valletta and Gozo

Valletta can be covered on foot in a few hours. Gozo needs an organised trip, with a ferry and transfers. With two days it is the choice that leaves the least rushing.

Valletta

What to leave out

Comino needs another day on a boat, and Mdina and the Three Cities a trip each. If you want to add them, move on to the three-day itinerary.
