Four days in Malta is one of the best lengths for a first short trip because you can see the historic core and still give Gozo or the coast a proper day. The extra day makes a bigger difference than it sounds: instead of choosing between Mdina and a beach, or between the Three Cities and Gozo, you can build a balanced route with less backtracking.

Three days in Malta is short, but it is enough for a memorable first trip if you resist the urge to see every island, beach and museum. The most effective plan is to give each day a clear geographic identity: Valletta and Grand Harbour, Mdina and central Malta, then one flexible day for the coast, Gozo or the south depending on your interests and weather.
