The trick with kids: <strong>stay in Mellieħa or Buġibba (not Sliema/Paceville)</strong>, slow the pace to one big thing per day, and accept that any day with limestone-step sightseeing for under-7s ends in tears. This 5-day itinerary works for kids <strong>roughly 4–11</strong>; we flag what to swap for younger and older.</div> </div> </div> <p>Family travel in Malta is easier than family travel in most of southern Europe. Distances are tiny, English is universal, the medical system is European-standard, and almost every restaurant has half-portions and a high-chair without making a face about it. The catch: most Malta itineraries online are written for couples, with day plans that work fine for two adults and quietly demolish a 5-year-old by 14:00.</p>
