Synopsis
This guide is designed to help readers enjoy a successful holiday on Malta. Each section of the island has been divided geographically, and detailed instructions take the visitor round each region, be it a walking tour through the medieval streets of Valletta or Mdina, or a leisurely drive through the centre of the island, where holidaymakers rarely venture. Local oddities are pointed out and discussed, and where appropriate each sight is set in its proper historical perspective. The guide also includes advice that makes for a smooth and relaxed holiday. Practical information such as where to make an international telephone call, or how to find a chemist open on a Sunday is also included as well as an account of Malta's rich history, to increase the visitor's understanding of the sights that are there to be marvelled at. The guide includes the opening times, addresses and phone numbers of all places of interest to visit, with suggestions of where to go, what to see and highlights many out of the way places waiting to be discovered. The guide is illustrated throughout with numerous reference maps and contains MPC's unique page symbols for easier reference.
