Hello,

does anyone have tips for a holiday to Malta with our son of 1 1/2 year old ? Best beaches to go to ? Playgardens ? experience of stay at Le Meridien St Julians (playgarden at the hotel- food for kids)? Good restaurants with kids ?
Any advise on carrental ? we are considering to book a car only for a few days ? Best do it locally or rather in advance ?
We'll be travelling beginning of September.
Thanks for your help !!!

valletta is one of our cruise ports of call. i'd like info on making the most of my time, i.e. must see places, restaurants. i read there are ferries to the other islands, about 20 minutes each way. any info on fees. is it better to take the bus to locations on malta or walk? where can i get a map of the routes and is there an all day, on/off bus pass?

Hi. My husband & I will be travelling to Malta in APril (from South Africa). We prefer to stay away from the main tourist areas & being close to the sea is not essential. We prefer to stay in a small village and experience ife as the locals live it rather that as the tourists in the resorts. Can anyone suggest a suitable village(somewhere central from where we can explore the rest of the island). Unfortunately it is important fo us to be near a wifi hotspot or have accommodation with broadband access as we do need to keep in touch with our company while away. Any recommendations of places to stay. Self-catering (in an apartment or villa will be best). PLease suggest a good location as well as good acommodation if possible. Thanks Janet

hello.has anyone stayed or know of simon's apartments on depiro st sliema.or can you recommend an apt in either sliema or st julians.not in paceville as i've heard it is very noisy there.
thank you.

I am travelling to Malta (staying in Qawra)in June 2008, with my healthy and curious mother of 78. However, she is not that agile.
She likes a good time, shopping, scenery and food!
Can anyone recommend good boat/sailing trips, day trips, seafood restaurants ON THE WATER, easy shopping areas.
I think she will be fine taking the local buses - they look easy to navigate!
Look forward to any great tips.

This might not be of help for some people, but it might help some!

I think the Maltese government has signed agreements with the Austrian and Italian governments to allow people from outside the EU, USA, Canada, Aus, NZ etc to apply for visas at their embassies where Malta has no embassy or High Commission.

This document explains where to go:

We are going to Malta for two weeks next July and would love tovisit Sicily while we are there.
We will only have 1 day so I guess will only be able to see Pozzallo OR Catania.

We are not too bothered about large cities or shops - we prefer more quaint towns with intersting streets, architecture or places to explore.

Which of these two places wold suit us best?

We are thinking about getting married in malta 10th oct next year and would be grateful for any recommendations for hotel venues we can get married in. We would like to get married outside in the grounds then have food and entertainment after. Is the weather still warm that time of year? Please help.

Could somebody help me to choose realy good excursins. I'm in Buggiba now and I saw only Gozo island.
Thanks. Irina

Hi again

Who knows anything about PANORAMA hotel in Mellieha? Is it nice hotel? How close is it to the beach?
If anybody knows a contact number to call them, would you be so kind to share it with me, please?
Many thanks in advance:)

Hi there.

I'm comming to Malta in the beginning of October for the first time. I almost know nothing, only heard that the best sandy beach in Malta is Mellieha bay....is that true?
The other question is, my plane landing in the night and after all the check ins I'll be able to get out of the airport at about 1 am:(. Anybody, please tell me, how to get to Mellieha Bay at this time? I guess, taxi is the only option? Anybody have an idea of approximate price? How far is the airport from there?Does it take long time to travel? Would I be able to get there at all at this time? My 7 y.o. son is comming with me and I would very much appreciate any information regarding that, please.
Look forward to hearing from anybody:)

Hi!

My husband and I would like to visit Malta in the end of December. Shall we book the tickets for the Hypogeum on-line or can we buy them in the National Museum of Archaeology?

Thanks in advance, Anastasia

Hi! I do not even know where to begin. My husband and I are planning on going to Malta in August. We would like to stay in a nice (3-5-star) hotel, but have no idea where! We are young (20s), no kids, so we would love to spend some time at the beach, do some sightseeing and possibly go to some clubs. I read somewhere that you could go to Sicily from Malta, but since we both will need visa to enter Malta, will we be able to enter Sicily? Anyway, ANY information would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!

Hi all.

My parents are looking to head to Malta for a week or so, probably in September of this year. They are both in their 60s and would like to stay in a resort that has a fair few restaurants etc, but not so much of the 'younger' night life, as I'm sure you can appreciate!! Can anyone say if Sept is a good time to visit, and recommend a resort for them?

Any other useful info would be useful as well.

Thanks in advance,
Ian H
