The tourist bus in Malta costs 22€ for an adult and 14€ for a child per day. This will allow you to discover, in one day, many sublime places.
This can be a good program for a morning before spending the afternoon strolling on the beach, or a marathon day to take in the sights by stopping, visiting a place and getting back on the next bus.
