This is a film made by the BBC about the history of Malta. It lasts about 50 minutes. Although very short, the film is well done and will put into perspective the things that you see around you during your stay. It's a good place to start your sightseeing.

Somewhat difficult to get to, this is a natural pool which is a good for jumping into the water. Most combine this trip with a visit to Marsaxlokk. You can take a taxi from Marsaxlokk or get a bus and walk (30 minutes to one and a half hours).

A traditional fishing village, Marsaxlokk is most famous for fish restaurants and the Sunday market. However, there is a daily market which is far less busy than the one on Sundays. If you want to avoid the market altogether go after 1p.m.

The Mosta Church is famous for it's dome which is the 4th largest unsupported dome in the world. Bombed in WWII, it is very important to Malta and the Maltese. While in Mosta, the best thing to do is just walk around the old streets. A trip here can be combined with a trip to Mdina or Golden Bay.

The closest sandy beach, Golden Bay is picturesque and has a great cafe. There is horse-riding nearby which is a delight at sunset. From here you can take a power boat to Comino or go parasailing. Don't swim if you see a RED flag here - the currents are dangerous. A purple flag means that there are jelly fish.

Highly recommend the Sunset Trip. Due to the terrain, it's a slow horseback trek so it's great for novices and beginners. Experienced riders are likely to find it unchallenging but still scenic.

A very small sandy beach. There tends to be a lot of seaweed here and the beach is only cleaned in high season (July / August). It's a pretty beach but as it's one of the furthest away tends to get less visitors than the other sandy beaches in the north.

The largest sandy beach in Malta, Mellieha is the best place for weak swimmers. The water is shallow for the first 100 to 200 metres so its great for families and children. There is a little waterpark here (in the sea itself) and plenty of places where you can hire kayaks, sailing boats, etc.

The iconic Red Tower is one of the cheapest attractions on the island and great fun to explore! Combine this with a walk around the north of Malta. Get off the bus at Paradise and walk around the cliffs. The view is stunning. You'll need 3 or 4 hours for the complete walk.

The old capital of Malta, Mdina is commonly known as the Silent City as no cars are allowed here during the day except for residents. It's small and will take no more than 30 minutes to walk around. Visit Fontanella for Malta's most famous chocolate cake and great views. If you want something more upmarket, try Palazzo Piro.

Too famous for its Blue Lagoon, Comino is beautiful but best avoided at the weekend in July and August. To avoid the worst of it, try and get here at around 3 or 4 when most of the big tourist boats will be leaving. In off season, Comino is beautiful and tranquil. However, the ferry service in the winter months is weather dependent and occassionally doesn't run even in fine weather!

There's plenty to see in Gozo including Rabat / Victoria (the old and new capital), Dwejra and the inland sea, the Salt Pans, Marsalforn. Mgarr ix-Xini is more difficult to get to but pretty for swimming. Xlendi is one of the most popular bays for lunch. Culture lovers can visit the Temples or the Xola Windmill. For adventure lovers there are caves with stalagmites.

Hagar Qim and Mnajdra are, in my opinion, the best Temples to see on the islands of Malta and Gozo. The temple complex is the largest and is in the most scenic location. Combine this trip with a visit to the Blue Grotto which is best seen in the morning. The only reason for visiting the Blue Grotto is to take the boat to the grotto or for a bite to eat at one of the restaurants. The bus service is quite irregular.

Shopping

An artificial sandy beach with a shopping mall round the corner. The beach is a popular hangout zone but one which I wouldn't recommend for swimming. Bay Street offers late night shopping, a games room and jungle gym and just up the road there is also a cinema and bowling alley.
