Very interesting place to visit. I'd suggest wearing sensible shoes because it can be a bit uneven underfoot. It wasn't busy when we visited and you can go around at your own pace so it's really up t… Full review by Ken M

Initially, we did not expect much from this site but were pleasently surprised. The entrance fee was minimal, as was a pleasant exchange with the cranky personnel. The Museum is small but very nice.… Full review by AncientHistryTravler

I had lots of fun during this museum. One of my favourite museums in Malta! There were many bones and many interesting stuff I learned about today. The cave was also very nice & interesting also :) Full review by Gabryl D

Hi and thanks for the helpful information about Ghar Dalam. It looks wonderful! My cruise ship docks at Valletta, Malta Weds October 9 at 8 am and leaves at 6 pm. I would like to see the Ghar Dalam cave and museum, the Lascaris war rooms, and take a quick walk in Mdina. 1. Will there be enough time to see all three of them during the time in port? 2. Do I need to make a reservation for either the cave or the war rooms for a Wednesday in early October? Or can I just show up and be sure of getting in? 3. Are there plenty of taxis available near where large cruise ships dock so that I can be sure of getting a taxi to take me from there to the Ghar Dalam cave? 4. Do I have to pay the taxi to wait while I am seeing Ghar Dalam, or will it be quick to call another taxi to pick me up and take me to the Lascaris war rooms? 5. Same question about the Lascaris war rooms - do any taxis hang around there? Is it safest to hire a taxi to take me to each of these places, then wait for me, and then drive me to the next place I want to see? These are very dull questions, but they are high stakes for me because this is my only chance to see Malta. I don't want to pay for a taxi to drive me a short distance and then hang around. Repeat. Repeat. But if I have to, I will. Thanks a million for your advice. Kate

Hiya, I understand the war rooms are close to the port(didn't go there myself) however a taxi to Ghar Dalam, where you will spend an hour or so, would be the best option given the time you have. I would ask the taxi driver or another from his company, to collect you an hour & 20 minutes later to go to Mdina where you will need 2-3 hours. enjoy your trip.
Q:

A:
Unfortunately not recommended for wheel chairs.Too many stairs going down fro museum to cave!
