“The best first day: harbour, knights, views and a route order that makes sense.”

This day works when you start from the harbour logic, not from a random list of monuments.
Birgu shows the world before Valletta, Fort St Angelo explains the harbour's military meaning and Upper Barrakka ties it together with one view.
Do Birgu in the morning, cross Grand Harbour, then enter Valletta. The full variant adds the cathedral and museums.
Do not force a car into the centre. This day is better on foot, by ferry or dgħajsa.
A first day for travellers who want to understand Malta, not just tick it off.
