Customer Reviews

Excellent guidebook

Fits a lot of information in a compact, travel-friendly book. Nice section on the history of Malta and helpful tips on what to book in advance and where to explore. My only critical observations are that the prices in the book for meals/sites were consistently lower than in reality and some of the times for various attractions were off. Obviously things change, but one would hope that less than a year after publication, this information would be a little more up to date.

Read it & then take it with you

Superb. Good maps that we used to find our way through Valletta's narrow streets, plus very detailed descriptions about every aspect of the country from history to hotel descriptions to finding buses & ferries - bearing in mind there's far more to Malta than what's in any guide book.

The perfect "in a nutshell" guide

Malta is one of those rare gems that still exist in the world. From its gorgeous coastlines, to the fascinating medieval strongholds, to the very life/flavor of the island itself, this is one of those places that captures the best society has offered from the last two-thousand years. Lonely Planet does a fine job with their Malta/Gozo edition. Like most of their traveler friendly guides, it captures all the necessary information without overdoing it. For anyone brand new to the island, this book is like the gentle hand that guides you without sullying all the wonderful surprises that await you in Malta, a place I find as one of the worlds least appreciated attractions. This book will offer advice, but from different perspectives, and the writing comes directly from those that have experienced what they cover. You won't get any "hearsay" junk with this guide. It is right on the money with everything it discusses; from restaurants, to travel accommodations, to tourist attractions, and far more. The maps are excellent and quite beneficial. I found myself spending a good half-hour to hour each night reading this AFTER we were already staying there, just to make certain I was getting every bit of flavor from my vacation as I could. It seems there is very little that this guide doesn't cover, for it even covers its history in a brief, but concise manner. For those who live or already very familiar with the Malta/Gozo area, there won't be much information here that you probably don't already know. However, if you are traveling to this wonderful place for the very first time, get this book! It is well worth the money and will be indispensable as you try to make the most out of your excursion. I envy anyone who has yet to visit Malta for the 1st time, for there is nothing like the first trip!

Informative and useful

Like other Lonely Planet guide books, this one is informative and contains useful information for the traveler. Some historical information, good overview, maps, suggested itineraries, etc.

Do not understand this question, but the book I bought was Lonley Planet's Malta and Gozo
