Ancient Ruins right in the center of a neighborhood. Can walk from here to the Hypogeum. I took the bus from Valetta and walked to the sight. They need better signage. GPS gets you lost. You download an English and or other language App that tells you the story. It is preserved under a giant canopy right in the center of a neighborhood. Im glad that farmer recognized those rocks and stones were special otherwise it would have been destroyed. A very nice gift shop and many near by places to eat and wander.

This was the best thing we did on our Malta trip and there was only one other tourist there! You don't have to take a tour. Catch a local bus to Marsaxlokk Harbour, from Valleta Main bus station, and get off halfway there or back. Ask the bus driver which stop you need. Also book the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum (you Must book as places are limited) which is 500 metres along the main road from the temple. Do not book an expensive tour unless you want the information a guide provides. You can read it all yourself. I think it cost about 4 Euros for the Temple and about 15 for the Hypogeum. Both really good value. If you are into archeology, you will be stunned by both places. Don't forget to go to the archeological Museum in Valleta first so you can understand the importance of both places. If you're not into old archeological rocks forget it. These temples are older than the pyramids!

Easy but convoluted walk from Hypogeum, €4.5 for seniors, initially a calm, quiet respite from the business of Malta. But as you walk along the guided walkway you begin to understand the enormity of the structures on this site, both physically and historically. Covered with a huge fabric fly to protect it from the elements there are several points of interest to stop and read. Well worth the time and fee.

this site is just a couple miles from the airport- easy to add to your itinerary. It is a well preserved site from about 3500 BC- worth the self guided visit. Get a Malta Pass and you can have free entrance to most sites and museum. It is in a charming old neighborhood from centuries old. The entrance is a little office door-so keep a sharp eye for it. Allow about 30 min to 45 min.

Right in the suburbs lies this archeological find. We came first thing in the morning So we practically had the whole place to ourselves. Toilets are available for use. You can do the whole experience for 15-20 mins. A word of caution: if you’re looking for lower half of the fat lady, she’s not there anymore. They moved her to the National Archeological Museum. The place though is still amazing. This is worth the visit for history buffs. It was an engineering marvel.

Brilliant Temples - really worth a visit. Visited twice - once years ago and once this month. If you don't appreciate these then you don't know what you are visiting. You have two sites very close to each other and you can see origins in the museum. We had a guide - booked in advance - they were ok not amazing. You can get good books on this but good to get transport here.
