We spent 4 full days / 5 nights in Malta in December 2023 and had a fantastic time, and wanted to share some of the things we loved. For context, we've traveled around Europe quite a bit (my husband is Swiss) and we were looking for an easy destination to get to from Switzerland with nice winter weather and fun/interesting things to do. Malta exceeded all of our expectations. I definitely recommend, and would think of it as an exciting long weekend destination to visit (on par with visiting a single European city) but wouldn't choose it over a multi-spot trip to a MUCH larger country like Italy. Things we especially liked: lots of history, clean and easy to get around, lovely people, great weather, excellent accommodation, kid-friendly, very good dining.

My 7 year old daughter and I had the trip of a lifetime at Disney Port Orleans. She had never been to Disney World and when we got to this resort, she thought this was it! When we arrived, our room wasn't ready yet and they took our bags and sent us to the pool. I think she went down the waterslide over 25 times. Luckily our room was ready by then and what a treat to stay in a princess room near the pool. We loved that we could go to Disney Springs and some of the theme parks by boat! We went fishing and roasted marshmallows every night after long days at the park!
