  • This is a crafts village outside Mdina, selling Maltese lace, glass works, pottery, leathers, etc., and is the largest crafts centre on the islands, with 20+ companies located in former WWII airport hangers.

    At Least Do This: Many shops have demonstrations, and watching the glass blowing was interesting. (See photo.) Of course, after the demonstration, you have to go through the gift shop to go outside the building. (It is a trap!)

    Open: Mon-Fri, 8am-4pm

    By bus: lm50 o/w from St. Sullian's
    Alternative: There is more crafts center on the islands, including the one in Valletta called The Malta Government Crafts Centre. However, I heard that they do NOT sell the products there.
