The only guide you'll need.,
By
This review is from: Malta (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
I had 1 week's holiday left, so headed off for Malta with this book. It was fantastic. Malta has so much to offer and this book is not so large you can't read it without knowing what you want to read first. It helps you find the little, out of the way places as well as the main sites. Well worth the money.

Informative, but discouraging!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Malta (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
Malta's history is chequered and fascinating, but this has to be the first guide I've ever read that effectively discouraged me from dragging myself away from poolside and wandering some local streets. It is informative and accurate, allowing you to dip in and out for specific pieces of info, but when reading the town-specific sections and tour suggestions, I was very much struck by an 'oh, don't bother' feeling than one of enthusiasm.No place is perfect and guides wouldn't be guides if they purported them to be so, but there's a subtle difference between being realistic about destinations and underplaying them completely.

decent,
By I. Seyb - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Malta (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
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.

Solid but not outstanding,
By Stephen McHenry - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Malta (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
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?).

Lonely Planet Malta Review,
By Kevin Parker - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Malta (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
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! |
