Where to stay if you want to walk to the museums
Valletta and Senglea each have twenty museums and historic sites within two kilometres. The harbour towns are far ahead of anywhere else.

Valletta and Senglea each have twenty museums and historic sites within two kilometres. The harbour towns are far ahead of anywhere else.

Gozo has lost its archaeology museum, two more sites are shut, and Fort St Elmo has opened a wing back up.

The archaeology museum is closed, the nature museum is free, and one ticket covers two sites in Xagħra.

One is the largest canvas he painted and the only one he signed. It still hangs in the room it was made…

Elephants, hippos and bears reached Malta on foot, then shrank. The cave near Birżebbuġa holds what is left of them.

Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra are one ticket, and so are Ġgantija and Ta’ Kola. People pay for both and see one.

The most expensive ticket in Malta, why it is priced that way, and the rule about children under six.

Adult is the price on the sign. There are three or four other bands, and nobody offers them unless you ask.

It covers the state museums and sites on both islands. Three or four visits is roughly where it starts paying for itself.

The six best known sites come to eighty-seven euro for one adult. The Hypogeum alone is thirty-five of that.

St John’s Co-Cathedral and Mdina Cathedral charge for entry. The other three hundred do not.

The air defence of Malta was run from these tunnels, and so was the landing on Sicily in 1943.
Malta Central is free to read. It is paid for by a few adverts and by booking links. Your blocker stops some of those links working, so a booking you try to make may not go through.
