Hello, my son is an international student in London and just scored a $20 round trip ticket to Malta for a quick getaway from November 1st to 5th. I’m looking for current tips on what he should do while he’s there. Are there any must-see places or local experiences that are perfect for a new traveler? How about transportation and food options? Any advice would really help him make the most of this trip!
 
What an exciting opportunity for your son! Malta is a treasure trove of experiences. He shouldn't miss Valletta with its stunning architecture and rich history—especially St. John's Co-Cathedral. The Blue Lagoon on Comino is also a must for its crystal-clear waters. For food, he should definitely try pastizzi (flaky pastries filled with ricotta or peas) and head to a local market for fresh produce and snacks. As for transportation, the public bus system is quite affordable and connects most major areas. Renting a bike or scooter is also a fun way to explore. What kind of experiences does he enjoy—culture, adventure, or relaxation? That could help narrow down some great activities!

It sounds like your son is in for a fantastic adventure! In addition to Valletta and the Blue Lagoon, I'd recommend visiting Mdina, the old capital, which has a magical atmosphere and stunning views. For local experiences, he might enjoy a traditional festa if one is happening during his stay, as they’re lively and filled with local culture. For transportation, the ferries between the islands are also a great option for a scenic ride. As for food, he should definitely try a rabbit stew, a Maltese specialty. Has he thought about any specific activities or attractions that interest him?
