Reisgids Malta and Gozo | Bradt Travel Guides

Description

Goede reisgids van Malta over steeds populairder wordende land. Vooral vol met allerhande praktische informatie die het reizen en verblijven makkelijker maken. Voorin aandacht voor cultuur en bevolking. Prima reisgids, engelstalig.

This new, thoroughly updated fourth edition of Bradt’s Malta – written by an expert who has been visiting for more than a decade – remains the most comprehensive guide available and has built a reputation for being the essential guide for getting beneath the surface of this island nation and discovering what lies beyond the beaches. Sun, sand and sea there may be, but Malta boasts so much more, and this new edition is packed with historical and archaeological insights, from the Stone Age to the Romans, the Knights Hospitaller to World War II. It also showcases the islands’ wildlife and bird-watching opportunities, summer festas, and the less commercialised islands of Gozo and Comino.

Malta has been changing at the rate of knots, with Valletta’s year as European Capital of Culture accelerating restoration and renovation. Copious openings – of historic sights, key fortresses, a new national gallery and boutique accommodation, particularly in Valletta – are covered, while the culinary scene continues to thrive, with notably greater choice for vegetarians and vegans. Malta has recently become much more socially accepting and is now considered one of the top places for LGBT travellers, while the offering for younger travellers has expanded, too. The Isle of MTV festival is going strong, Annie Mac now has a spring festival in Malta and a host of bars and clubs has sprung up. There is also lots on offer culturally, with festivals, concerts, exhibitions, theatre and opera all contributing to a full programme. 

Bradt’s Malta contains all the information needed for a successful trip. Whatever your budget, it is the ideal guide for everyone from culture aficionados to history and archaeology buffs, foodies, war veterans, families and couples escaping for a romantic break.
