Four days include an organised trip, and the first is given to Valletta on foot. Gozo and Comino go on separate days, because each fills the day. For a shorter plan, look at the three and four-day itineraries.
Malta in 3 daysCompared with the four-day itinerary, Valletta has a day of its own here and Mdina is paired with Dingli in a dedicated excursion. Gozo and Comino stay the same.
Malta in 4 daysOn the boat days, check the departure time and pier in your confirmation. They are the most exposed to the weather, so leave some slack in the plan.
Excursions in MaltaThe 2-hour free tour is the backbone: it starts under the Parliament building on Republic Street, passes the Auberge de Castille, Merchant Street and the Church of Santiago and ends at the Co-Cathedral, with an English-speaking guide. Tips are not included. The rest of the day is free: go back to the places you liked and take time over the Grand Harbour. If you want entry tickets and more hours, look at the paid guided tour.
The Three Cities tour lasts 4 hours 30 minutes, with an English-speaking guide, minibus and hotel pick-up. It goes through Vittoriosa and Fort St Angelo, then includes a ride in a dgħajsa, the traditional Maltese boat, to Senglea. The rest of the day is free.
The excursion lasts from 4 hours 30 minutes to 8 hours 30 minutes depending on the option, with an English-speaking guide. The ticket covers the Christian Catacombs and the Parish Church of the Assumption; St Paul’s Church is paid separately. Lunch with a glass of wine depends on the option.
This is the longest day: 10 hours with hotel pick-up, bus, return ferry and an English-speaking guide. The itinerary takes in Ġgantija and Victoria, with a lunch stop; check on the booking page what is included. Better not to plan anything else the same day.
