This small stack of unassuming rocks is within the site of the Dolmen hotel. The rocks themselves make up a fascinating, underappreciated part of Maltese history, and are absolutely a highlight of any visit. They deserve all the attention that they can get, and are often overlooked when compared to their other, more well known contemporaries.

The temple of Ħaġar Qim stands on a hilltop overlooking the sea and the islet of Fifla, not more than 2km south-west of the village of Qrendi. At the bottom of the hill, only 500m away, one finds the remarkable temples of Mnajdra. Both sites are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

This is a must visit when you are in Malta - the temples are well preserved and the audio guide gives you a lot of information. Come early at 09h00 to enjoy the temple and surroundings in peace.
6. Hal Saflieni Hypogeum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,256 reviews
The Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum is an underground prehistoric burial site, a complex made up of interconnecting rock-cut chambers set on three distinct levels. Earliest remains at the site date back to about 4000BC, and the complex was used over a span of many centuries, up to c. 2500 BC. The Hypogeum was first opened to the public in 1908. Due to its uniqueness, the site became very popular with visitors. Unfortunately, this had a negative impact on the delicate microclimate of the site. For this reason, a conservation project was conducted that also included the closure of the site for 10 years between 1990 and 2000. As a result of these studies, a new visiting system was established. Nowadays, only 10 visitors an hour are now allowed inside the Hypogeum for a maximum of 8 tours a day. This system is also complemented by an environmental control system which keeps temperature and humidity at required levels. Tickets for the Hypogeum should be purchased well in advance.

The immersive audio-visual show is powerfully compelling and sets the scene before being lead down to the incredibly impressive underground burial site. The narration with a hand-held wand is very well done with articulate information and atmospheric sounds. This is the only prehistoric burial site accessible to the public.....mind-blowing! Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum is justifiably inscribed on the World Heritage List and an absolute must if you are an antiquities enthusiast. Book your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.

Standing upon the high medieval northern walls of the Citadella, the view is 360 degrees of magnificence. Outside the walls, a large stretch of rocky terrain, decorated with grand churches and cathedrals acting sentinel as the crystal sea lies dormant in the back ground. Within the walls, you can see the history unravel and feel at one with the many battles and hardships the Citadella has both withstood and crumbled to. A must see to anyone who desires to expand their historical knowledge and engage with fantastic views!

The tower is closed until further notice but views from the location are really good particularly if you are up for a 2-3 hour circular walk. Involves one short steep climb. For the (clockwise) walk start out along the broadly level minor road that goes "inland" above the scruffy bungalows at the bottom of the hill below the tower. Emerge beyond the bungalows; pass a farmyard area; then when the road forks head right up hill. Where it levels out good views. Follow the road round to the right with planted fields either side. After some 200m watch for a concrete track/right turn. Take it. Ascend some (very) steep stone steps to reach the top of the ridge. Seat nearby for more lovely 360' views. Option here to walk left along minor road out and back to end of headland. Otherwise turn right and walk along minor road to the Red Tower. For the route down walk beyond the tower, ignore two tracks off to right and continue as road starts to descend. Watch for access to path and steps on right which zig-zag down the hill to emerge onto the road at the end of Mellieha bay within a few yards of your start point.
