Malta Mainland Historic Cities & South Coast
Stay in Valletta and use public buses to connect the historic city, the Three Cities, Mdina, and the south coast's sea caves and megalithic temples.
Using Valletta as your fixed base without changing hotels, this itinerary is perfect for first-time visitors and short breaks. Spend the first two days exploring the Knights' historic city and the ancient inland capital, the third day visiting the Blue Grotto, temples, and a fishing village on the south coast, and the final half-day touring the Three Cities before heading to the airport. To maintain a comfortable pace, Gozo and Comino are excluded, though they can be swapped in on Day 3 if you have more time.
Boat trips to the Blue Grotto are subject to sea conditions and are often suspended in winter; midday can be very hot in July and August.
