A tourist wrote on TripAdvisor travel forum: “Great place for a holiday. This time, it was my third visit, I went to the Silent City.
“What an interesting place, full of history, and yet still a living city. Great places to eat, fantastic views, and a sense of this has been here for thousands of years. Well worth the time to visit, and worth repeat visits too which you can not always say about everywhere.”
Another tourist commented: “If you are looking for an out-of-the-ordinary place to travel to then this should definitely be on your list! I flew from Rome to Malta. The island is pristine and beautiful. The people are friendly and very laid back.
“Malta is not the place to be if you are in a hurry so if you are going on a tour get an early start as nothing moves quickly in Malta. It is a little on the expensive side but well worth it.”
A third user chimed in: “Malta is a place I go to nearly every year. I first went when my children were small and we were looking for somewhere warm with good beaches that weren’t too expensive. A bonus is that everyone speaks English.
“We still return to the north of the island because it is quieter than the south. There is something for everyone: prehistoric temples and caves, beautiful churches and architecture, water sports and safe beaches for swimming, an incredible history including the important part that the Maltese people played in W.W.2, great food and drink, night-life for those who want it and most of all there is very little crime and you feel safe where ever you go.”
