Guidebook with good pictures, maps and sugestions. But not a fact book.......2007-05-21
Typical LP book, more or less what I need and packed with facts. But on the hotel pages, I am surprised to see so few hotels get listed, considering a destination like Malta must offer much much more options at all ranges.
What I also would like to see is information about sea links to Sicilly and Tunisia, a day-trip or an organized tour. There is hardly any mentioning of such. You've made all the way to malta, and Sicilly is just an hour and a half away, it is definitely worth of considering visiting.
All in all, a typical LP book with almost all information you will need.
The perfect "in a nutshell" guide.......2007-02-10
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.......2006-03-09
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.......2005-09-20
Super....could not have enjoyed my holiday as much without it!
A guide for Malta.......2005-06-14

Solid but not outstanding.......2003-12-21
After looking over 5 or 6 Malta books, the two I took with me and used the most were the Rough Guide and the AAA Spiral Guide. This book by Lonely Planet is fine and thorough but comes in second to the other two. However, this book does have the most complete list of feast days (60 or more a year in Malata?).
decent.......2003-06-20
I spent eight months in Malta, and ended up using this book in tandem with the Rough Guide version. Like all guide books, neither is 100% accurate, and that's life. Rough Guide is better for history, culture, art, etc. There will be much more info on any given sight there, but Lonely Planet has the practicalities a little more fleshed out. And as usual, the maps are slightly better. Depends on what you're looking for, really.
Lonely Planet Malta Review.......2001-09-17
This is an excellent book...however there are a few places he missed. The pub in Mellieha that has FANtastic ribs and steak,
and the excellent French restaurant in Marsaskala. (The waiter here knows so much about the fresh fish you'd swear he'd caught them himself!)
If you're a scuba diver, Dive Med in Marsaskala gave us the BEST service!
