"History lesson or tourist trap?" Malta by Ines28

Malta Travel Guide: 6,177 reviews and 11,777 photos

We stayed in Qawra for 1 week, but I think we could have seen the interesting sights in 3 days. The entrance fees to the old temples (not much left) are quite high, there are no nice beaches and the tour guides could be a bit more polite. Nevertheless, the churches are really beautiful, especially in Valletta and Mosta. Nice places to visit are in my opinion Valletta (no pictures available as our camera refused to work on that day!), Mosta, Mdina and the Blue Grotto. If possible, visit one of the fiestas, great atmosphere and fireworks! Also very relaxing: Harbour cruise from Sliema to Valletta.

Pros and Cons

Pros:good climate, Valletta,churches
Cons:food, price level
In a nutshell:Worth a 3 day visit - but definitely not more!

Interessant... mir schien es dort auch zu wenig zu sehen zu geben, deshalb war ich bisher noch nicht da!
