Another fine Lonely Planet offering
I bought this for a recent trip to Malta, and once again have been impressed by the quality and content of the Lonely Planet guide for the area. Although Malta doesn’t have a huge amount to offer, this guide details all you could want to know from history, geography, sites, where to stay, scuba diving and general travel advice.

That said I was also encouraged that the book doesn’t try to oversell the sites which really irritates me in many travel guides. Some of the advice about which things to do and which not to do are absolutely spot on, particularly re which catacombs to visit in Rabat. One place I really recommend going to is Marsaxlokk a small fishing village in the south-east corner of the island.

The maps are actually a bit poor and I would recommend getting something extra if you plan on driving around but as a guide, this one’s superb!

Reasonable but long winded
This guide gives you an excellent read on the history and culture of Malta and Gozo.

But I personally found it a bit long winded and short on easy to access practical information, for quick access to on the move.

My personal tour guide for a fantastic place!
Ok, so I know what other's have said but, I guess it depends on how you use the guide. I found it very useful. I traveled Malta and Gozo. I used reccomendations for accomodations and restaurants. I was quite pleased with both. Lonely Planet usually doesn't disappoint me. The quality of information isn't consistent among all of their guides but, this one offers good information and tips worth taking. I travel, alot, usually one week a month to a new and different destination. I always check my guide info against reasearch I conduct through the internet. You should always do this and you will not be disappointed. So, in the end, I do reccomend this guide and Malta and Gozo....a can't miss!
