Mainland Malta: 3-5 Day Itinerary
Mainland Malta: 3-5 Day Itinerary

Let me start by saying that Malta is a fascinating country with enough spots to visit, restaurants to try, hikes to take, and so much more that a visitor could easily spent a week or more touring Malta’s main island. We spent a week ourselves with the majority on Malta and a couple of days on Gozo and had a wonderful time. If you only have 3-5 days to spend, here is the Valletta-based itinerary we would recommend. The best part of this is that you can stay in one place the entire time with all the spots walkable by foot or accessible via ferry or a short cab ride.

A Week in Malta & Gozo - Valletta (Day 2)

September 21st is Malta’s Independence Day to commemorate when it gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1964.  It also just so happened to coincide with our visit. We had looked into any special events that would be taking place, and the main one is a 3-day (Fri-Sun) Military Tattoo evening performance in St. George’s Square in the central part of Valletta.  Walking into town we passed right by the square with the temporary bleachers set up.
