This review is from: The Rough Guide to Malta & Gozo 1 (Rough Guide Mini Guides) (Paperback)
This pocket sized 400 page guide to Malta & surrounding islands is full of facts, details, and helpful hints. This is a British made publication, which means: 1) you have great detail on after hour clubs, bars, and entertainment; 2), there will be practically no attempt to help you with the local language (which for the most part the natives can understand & speak English, even if they are heavily accented); 3) there will be no hesitation to give opinions along with the facts; 4) there will be good information on bus routes and transportation options.There are only 4 pages of photographs out of the 400, so it helps to team this book up with one like the AAA Spiral Guide which is chock full of photos, but this Rough guide is the one to stick in your pocket when you head out into the street.

A Thorough and Concise Guidebook,

This review is from: The Rough Guides' Malta Directions 1 (Rough Guide Directions) (Paperback)
Rough Guides' "Malta & Gozo" is a very handy guidebook. Although it is only 192 pages and pretty light, it is packed with information. The thing that I like most about this book is that it contains detailed maps of all three Islands, Malta, Gozo and Comino, in addition to numerous city maps and plenty of both colour and black and white photos.
The main focus of "Malta & Gozo" is to provide the reader with detailed and up to date descriptions of the main attractions, restaurants and hotels in each community. As well, this guide contains a basic overview of practical information, relating to transportation, money, communication, festivals and language. One very special bonus is that this book is accompanied by a mini CD, showing the book's contents in digital format. This feature is nice if you would like to take a closer look at the maps provided in the book. If you would like an up-to-date and thorough guide of Malta, this book is for you.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good, but...,
This review is from: The Rough Guides' Malta Directions 1 (Rough Guide Directions) (Paperback)
Great book to read to prep for the trip & to have with you though not the book we used to find our way as we were out sightseeing. Not enough street maps, and there's far more to what we saw of Malta than was in this book.
