Ray, the busses in summer are always jam packed, Valletta is beautiful but hundreds of steps and steep streets. I love it, but I think if you have walking difficulties and you want to get around it will be an issue.
Im not a gynecologist, but I dont mind taking a look.

She can walk and climb stairs but is very slow and doesn't like to walk too far. I'm sure she'd love Valetta but do you think getting around would be much of an issue. Is the bus service still as good as I remember (1940's buses, brightly painted with a religious icon behind the drivers seat, often with eyes linked to the brake lights) :)

IMO If you stayed in Valetta only and didn't venture far from the cathedral for all your food & entertainment (trolly train hourly) then ok.

However witch in law has bad knees & hips found streets sloping and slippery (as did I so bought new shoes not flip flops)and got a cab pretty much everywhere (not to expensive if you download the app) but avoid the black cabs/ those ordered by the hotels as they hyped the price)

Thanks Scootypuff. The uneven cobble pavements in Portugal are a problem for her.
