Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Malta!

Touch down on the amazing island nation of Malta. Off the coast between North Africa and Sicily, Malta is dotted with fantastic beaches, dreamy coastlines, fortresses, megalithic temples, and more!

Day 2 Valletta

Take the day to explore the stunning capital city of Valletta. Known for its museums, palaces, and grand churches, be sure to bring your camera to capture this city that seems to glow in the sunlight, radiating warmth and history down every narrow stone street.

Day 3 Valletta

Enter the fortified city of Mdina today on a full-day tour. This city sits in the center of the island of Malta and was once the capital of the nation during the medieval period. Enjoy the wonders this city has to offer from subterranean, winding catacombs to towering, colorful cathedrals.

Day 4 Valletta

Leave the main island of Malta for one of the larger of the 21 surrounding islands that make up Malta's archipelago. Explore Gozo, where rural hiking paths run along the country side, Ggantija Temple ruins are strewn about historical sites, beaches stretch for miles and scuba-diving can be found at multiple sites.

Day 5 Valletta

Today is your last full day in Malta, maybe explore more of Sliema! Explore the luxurious pools at the Roman Baths (also known as Fond Ghadir) or take an adventure on a red motor-powered dinghy on the harbor! Visit the impressive Fort Tigné or the 17th-century ...

Day 6 Depart Malta

Make sure you've got all of your souvenirs before heading off to the airport to catch your flight home!
