    I've seen a lot of interiors. This was in the top 3 that I have seen in my 50 years. Get tickets in advance - the line at the church was long, while online line was 20 seconds.

    Let me start by saying how amazing Mike's English-speaking tour was. He shared so much great information and answered everyone's questions. However, even without a guided tour, there is so much information available on TV screens and in the displays. Definitely worth a visit, especially on a grey day, but even on a hot sunny day it's a great place to chill and cool down and learn about the amazing history.

    Truly a profound view, the gardens are extremely well preserved.
    A landmark so picturesque, you simply can't not take a picture!

    There's usually an influx of people in the afternoon & the evening so it can get quite crowded, but other than that it's all dandy.

    Wonderful experience! The guide Kyle, who explained the process and fired the cannon, was very friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommend him and the place!

    An informative and fun tour in the only remaining privately owned palace in Valletta. Our guide David was knowledgeable and engaging, providing a fascinating insight into Malta, the palace and the life of the family who still reside there. One of the owners even made an appearance and answered some of our questions during our tour. A beautiful, living museum worth visiting if you're in the city.

    This visitor attraction is well worth a visit. Great on a lovely day with lots to see outside and then the very well curated war museum. The structure itself is fascinating and the history fascinating. See the George Cross is a real treat. Great value and a definite must see.

    This is a working waterfront so it can be busy with the comings and goings of cruise liners and other shipping. We took a gondola ride around the harbour which give excellent views of the waterfront, the defensive walls and the scenery used in many films.

    The 45 minute documentary on Malta's history was fascinating - it reignited our interest in documentary films. That said, the cinema is a bit dated and so too are the headsets. The cost is a bit too high, relative to the cost of watching a film.

    Took this on our second day of touring Malta as my legs were tired from all the walking. Easy up and easy down. Cheap to take. One cost for both ways. Takes you to the upper gardens.

    The armoury is very interesting and huge with thousands of artifacts and a great history of the island. The rest of the place also has many interesting things to view and learn about.

    A lovely place to sit and watch the world go by. Plenty of seating, lovely planting and sculptures and a fountain. Views over the Grand Harbour are stunning, toilets are acceptable and there are facilities for food and drink.

    A hidden gem in Valletta. We were really surprised and it's really worth the visit. It gives you a good impression how the nuns lived.
    We enjoyed it!!
