The hypogeum is a fascinating relic, but the tour is truly awful. I was prepared to spend 20 Euros each for a 1-hour tour, but at that price I expected to be impressed. I was impressed by the Hypogeum itself, but the tour is amateur and rushed. You get five minutes first of all to read a series of panels... more
Truly fascinating place. Went on the advice of friends that visited Malta last year and booked well in advance. But 20 euros each ! Ouch! more
Malta is a small Island in Europe. We have lots of Temples around the Islands of Malta and Gozo.They are the oldest Temples in the world. To visit you need at least 1 week so you can visit all the tempes that we have. Tp gp to Hal Saflieni Hypogeum you need to make an appoitment. more
This is easily reachable using the wonderful Maltese bus system but you can't just turn up. There is a strict limit to the number of people per tour (tours only too, no turning up & wandering around by yourself) and a limited number of tours per day. Tickets are bought in advance via the archaeological museum (I think) in Valetta... more
The guide books all say this is a highlight - yes it is. The books all say you must book in advance - this is also true. We went along on 24/8/09 and people were being turned and told they were fully booked until 6/9/09 So booking ahead is essential - otherwise you risk missing a real gem. I can... more
Definately a highlight of the trip! Make sure that you book tickets in advance of your holiday though as when we went (21 August) it was fully booked up until 6 Sept! A large number of people were turned away as the numbers are limited and they won't budge on this. more
Adult ticket booked online: €10.00. Tour length: 1 hour. Worth it?: Yes. Apart from seconding what has gone before in the previous (very informative) reviews, I can only add my own personal experience of the site, and stress the need for pre-booking, for good safe shoes, and a warning for those who suffer from claustrophobia. The Hypogeum is amazing. If... more
Just the most wonderful archaeological site. Extremely well minded, beautifully presented. Not for the claustrophobic as it's all underground and quite cramped, but wonderful anyway. You have to book tickets well in advance of your trip, or else turn up at the crack of dawn on the day, (or maybe the evening before?). I think they keep a few tickets... more
I booked our tickets through the Heritage Malta site soon after we booked our plane tickets to Malta. While we weren't traveling in the high season, I had read enough reviews advising booking in advance, and was glad I took the advice. I don't really know how to fully describe the Hypogeum itself, except it was absolutely fascinating, and I... more
It was very interesting to see the caves and the audio guide was informative. It was not much else, though. No exhibition with time line, maps, etc usually found on sites charging this kind of fee. Well worth a visit and buying tickets in advance is a must. more
