Straight out. Pastizzi from Jeff's around the corner, and off for the day.

You might — Bagel Hole, for a taste of New York.

A morning for culture: galleries, museums and history, all open and waiting.

You might — walk to the Grand Master's Palace, and see the renovation for yourself.

Cross the harbour in a local dghajsa, threading between the yachts and ferries.

You might — have lunch at Terrone, right in the old fortified moat.

Wander Birgu's medieval streets, then the marina, where the superyachts sit.

You might — pick up a gift from Blue Birgu.

Back across the water, the harbour turning gold, straight up to a rooftop bar for aperitivo.

You might — take the glass lift up the bastion, stopping at Barrakka Gardens before the dinner.

A traditional dinner, to finish a day steeped in history.

You might — try Rubino, a Maltese trattoria with traditional dishes, nothing fussy.
