Planning
With my lazy traveling style, at least 10 days are requried to cover most of the major tourist sites. For example,
- 1. Valetta
- 2. Sliema & St. Julian's
- 3. Marsaxlokk (Sunday fish market & St. Peter's Pool)
- 4~5. Gozo
- 6. Comino (Blue Lagoon)
- 7. Mdina
- 8. Popeye village & around
- 9. St. Paul's Bay
- 10. other areas
Accommodation
- ✔ in the order of recommendation
- Sliema
- ➕ 15m bus to Valletta. many restaurants and other facilities
- Gzira
- ➕ closer to Valletta than Sliema
- ➖ buses come packed from Sliema
- Valletta
- ➕ main tourist area. all buses to other areas depart from here.
- ➖ expensive and noisy
- Gozo
- recommed to stay at least one night to cover the whole area

purchasing Explore card at the airport
The kiosk is located in the center of the arrival hall right before you leave it. The interface is quite straightforward.
taking cab from the airport
Follow taxi signs and queue to buy a ticket.The price is pre-defined depending on the destination and pre-paid.
using Bolt
I couldn't my card information to payment method of the Bolt mobile app in Korea, but it has worked after I arrived. Probably there're some regional restrictions.
