Got there early so could read all exhibits and get around without too many people. Initial building is nice and lots of interesting exhibits that bring the temple to life. Super easy to get around. Really worthwhile visit.

The temple was smaller than expected, so don't have expectations based on the name 😄 The small museum that you enter first is quite interesting, but there were two guided companies at the same time as us and they were loud and took a lot of space, so we had to go back to the museum afterwards to see the rest. If you want to get a feel of the place, set aside time to just be there (and maybe wait for guided tours to move on). If you are lucky and can be in one of the temple areas alone, you can better get a sense of the energy and history of the place. You can easily get through it in less than an hour, but if you have time, just enjoy the surroundings and the magical sensation of a temple older than the pyramids.

Oldest free standing manmade structures in the world! A thousand years older than the pyramids of Egypt! Excellent museum. Self guided tour around the walls

Interesting museum, great view on the way to the archeological site. Without rushing it tou can spend around 1,5 hours there. Tickets will also give you access to the old Windmill nearby.

Ancient site, good exhibition/museum exhibits. Friendly staff, gift shop and toilets. A very interesting visit.To think its so incredibly old!

So cool and old, you get to walk around inside the temple and get really close to the stonework. Stonehenge makes you stand way back away from it cos it thinks it’s so cordial

Truly impressive site. Amazing experience and great to visit in November without the hoardes of people and hot sun. The buildings have a stunning scale having survived so long.

Nice view but... ...the caves across the valley are much more picturesque (and free as well). The Calypso Caves are closed for entering and even the premium viewing deck was closed when I visited. Don't get me wrong, it is nice (and free) but save yourself some time and effort and go across the valley for a better view from caves that you can enter.

The view is nice but there are better looking places just around the corner. The cave itself is closed as far as I can tell, it's the view from above

The Cave is not accessible anymore. But the view that surrounds the Cave is breathe taking.

Beautiful location off the beaten track in Gozo. As you make your way down into the cave you are met with a glorious view across the bay.

Cannot get to caves, but overlook offers exceptional views of Ramla Beach and shore line.

If you like walking and great views it's a fantastic walk from Marsalforn Bay up the big hill & towards the Caves / Ramla bay. Unstable caves are closed but still worth a visit for the views.

Went to Calypso Cave a few weeks ago but it was closed. Looks like it's become unsafe so is fenced off now. Its a shame, I went to see it about 14 years ago and it was all open. Great views of Ramla Beach from up there though. There is a Cave the other side of Ramla you can still get to.

One of the best beaches in Malta and Gozo everall. I visited this beach on a very windy day with big waves and even the red flag raised. Still, some people were swimming. The beach was a bit crowded but very clean, and the sand felt incredibly soft.

Beautiful and also imaculately clean beach. We spent only 2 hours here but enjoyed every moment. Two bars near the beach are okay and offer variety of food as well as drinks.

The beach itself is okay, but unfortunately there's a lot of algae and other similar plants. Near the beach, there's a mountain with a cave.

A very picturesque beach with an unusual sand color, almost like clay. There are umbrellas and sunbeds for €7 each. At the entrance, there is a toilet. You can also find a café to grab a snack or buy water. There are no changing facilities. The entrance to the sea is over rocks, but it’s very shallow and gradual, making it great for snorkeling.

The sand is red-orange in color There are stones on the beach, as well as near the water.Be very careful not to hit yourself. The beach has sun loungers and umbrellas; for two sun loungers and one umbrella you will pay 21€.We didn't like it. It would be better to go to the blue lagoon.The beach is not for everyone.

A nice contrast to the rocky beaches :) The downside - like any other beach I visited, this one also has no visible changing booths.

Ramla Bay truly took our breath away — it’s unlike any other beach we’ve seen in Malta or Gozo. The deep golden-red sand feels soft underfoot, and the wide open space gives it a peaceful, untouched vibe. Surrounded by green hills and natural beauty, it’s the perfect mix of sea and countryside. The beach is family-friendly, with gentle waves and shallow water ideal for kids. There are public toilets, a small café, and sunbed rentals, making it easy to spend hours here comfortably. Whether you’re walking along the sand, enjoying the view from Mixta Cave above, or just relaxing with your feet in the water — Ramla Bay offers a unique, calming experience you won’t forget.

It's a smallish beach split into 2. But it is sand and easy to walk into the sea which was amazing. Warm and exciting waves. There's a couple of restaurants and public toilets and a shower. The bus was convenient but popular. I would love to come back.

Highly recommend taking a ride on the hop on hop off shuttle which drops you off at the top of the beach where you can walk to the Mixta Cave. After a 15 min walk to the cave you can drop down a trail right onto the beach. The cafe at Ramla makes fresh seafood and snacks. Great soft sandy beach to hang out at for a few hours.

As beaches go, this was one of the prettiest ones.I have seen here. The day that we were there.The wind was so violent that there was red flags flying.However a lot of people were in the ocean they do have lifeguards watching over which obviously ignored the red flags. The sand is a deep caramel color it looks like crushed up biscuff cookies!!! The wonderful thing is that it has facilities bathrooms and showers and a small restaurant which we did not try. There is a company of men that put up lounge chairs and umbrellas add a cost. Write outside of the beach.We also found a very\nIndustrious man that obviously used his land for a parking for a fee of two euros. There are also several outlets with bathing suits and floaties and things like that if you forgot yours. The road to get there was a little bit harrowing for those of us that don't drive On the left hand of the road because the streets are very narrow and they are two way streets!!! Put all in all a very nice experience. HowEver there are a lot of rocks in the sand so it's hard to figure out where to put your towel if you decide not to get one of the deck chairs!

This was a truly delightful spot to spend a pleasant afternoon, where you could fully enjoy the entire ocean and the beach. The cave itself was an incredibly adventurous and truly unique natural wonder that you simply don't usually encounter at your typical beach. We are genuinely grateful that we took the time to go take a look up there and spend time at the beach.

A beautiful sandy beach. Definitely worth the effort to get there. Umbrellas and chairs for rent. Public showers and bathrooms are available.

Lovely place to swim. The watter is shallow for maybe 10 metres, but always pay attention. Can be crowded sometimes and the sunbeds and umbrellas are going for around 7 euro each.

Beautiful sandy beach iconic.....too many rocks and stones in sea - surely can be removed to enjoy it better. Now with showers and good public toilets. Good kiosks too

Tremendous find a few mins off the ferry. Lovely pastry, excellent bread and a delicious pastizz to boot. Friendly service for us visitors. Genuine local spot. Really cheap (€5 for 6x small pastries, loaf of bread and a pastizz). There is a small playground a couple of meters up the road, perfect for kids. Card payment possible.

Overrated, you have to wait a big line to get worst breakfast ever. I asked for chicken pie and got chicken with pork bbq pizza. A lot of fly's inside sitting on baked goods. And not most respectful locals go there.

This is one of the last few traditional bakeries on the island. It’s easy to find as it’s on one of the villages’ main roads and there are always some people waiting outside for the next fresh oven bake. You will find lots to choose from, they have all sorts of local bread, pastries, etc. It’s a family-run bakery that goes back generations and they’re very passionate about their products. They have frozen goods that can be baked back at home, local type pizza and a vast variety of cakes including seasonal traditional pastries. Not a good shop to visit if you are weight watching.

Absolutely amazing, the bezt Bakery ive ever tried, all the staff where so friendly and explained what everything way and the food was to die for! Absolutely incredible!

This is an absolute local gem run by locals who care. Grabbed some super fresh and huge Ftira sandwiches for a cheap 3euros to go. Worth taking a detour from the tourist mess that is Victoria. The ambiance was super homely and locals were coming in and out around lunch time to grab loaves of fresh bread. You can see the team making it right there in front of you behind the counter! Cannot recommend enough.

Great place, delicious pastries, cookies and ftira. Been there every day during out stay in Gozo

A great bakery serving a wide variety of bread and baked goods. Prices much more reasonable than at tourist sites

Along Gozo’s rugged northwest coast, the centuries-old salt pans carve a striking geometric pattern into the limestone shoreline. Hand-chiseled by generations of local families, these shallow pools still produce sea salt using traditional methods passed down since the Romans. Visiting at sunrise or sunset offers breathtaking views as the golden light reflects off the crystal-lined pans. Watch as salt harvesters skillfully scrape the mineral-rich crystals—a backbreaking yet cherished craft. The nearby Salt Kitchen shop sells this "white gold" in its purest form, perfect for edible souvenirs. A testament to Gozo’s resilience, the salt pans blend natural beauty with living history. Free to visit, but respect the working areas.

Very nice area to visit and walk around. Beautiful salt pans, easily accessible.

So brilliant to see the salt being harvested. Great walking along by the sea. Great for swimming, relaxing and leisurely refreshments.

Beautiful spot but you should we aware that Malta is a country where they hunt and catch birds, especially when the bird migration is going on, like now. They kill for fun and the hunts are not very well controled. Around the coastline you see these hunters everywhere. Birds in very small cages, hunters with riffles, speakers with birdsounds... We witnessed a lot of those spots and it is heartbreaking. We wouldn't have visited Malta if we knew this upfront.

Beautiful coastal walk along the water, interesting history regarding the salt collection. A nice family sells the salt directly at the location.

As beautiful as the pictures...in Victoria, you can buy Gozo sea salt from here that's several hundred years old! The salt pans are a marvel of nature and located at the end of a pleasant walk or drive from Marsalforn--but I recommend walking for the air.

Nice bit of coast to see where salt is traditionally still collected over the summer months. Really interesting to see, nice walk along the coastline while you're viewing them. There's a cafe there and public toilets. We went in off season so plenty of places to park, but could see in the summer months that it would be very busy.

Wonderful small shop with wines, local jams, olives, honey, and fresh vegetables. The owner is welcoming and lovely.

Even though the wineyard is being renovated and everything happens in a small shop, the food was great (we loved the tomato paste and olive oil) and the tasting of their wines is free. Also the hostess is an interesting and funny woman that made the whole experience really enjoyable. High value products for the price. Highly recommended

This may be the most hidden of Gozo’s many gems. An incomparable experience of authentic Gozitan wine, food, history, and culture was had here. My wife and I were offered immeasurable hospitality and generosity as we were treated to Ħobż biż-żejt (bread with sweet tomato paste and olive oil), a wide variety of locally-produced red and white wine, Gozitan cheese, and gluten free sweets (my wife is celiac). As lovers of wine, we can say that this multi-generational family of grape-growers and wine-makers is producing some of the finest wine at the best prices on Gozo. Of equal quality is their homemade tomato pastes, jellies and jams, and sweet treats. Do not pass by their unassuming store front—there is excellence within.

Such a charming little store with fresh local produce, preserves, liqueur, wine, cheeses and more. Definitely go here if you’re around the area - the lady in the shop is so lovely and offered us a taste of her beautiful wines and fruit liqueurs, which were so unique and flavoursome. Go here while visiting Gozo!

We came on a Saturday afternoon, visited the farm and listened to Joseph share about the family history and experiences of running the Ta Mena Estate. It's evident that it's a hard business to run, especially with the high standards of organic production that they have. The wines and antipasti were delicious, especially the Rosé and the Gabillott (red) wines as well as the tomato paste! All around a great experience and excellent value for money!

The estate is a bit different from the winery. As of 8/31/24, the estate is undergoing renovation. However, there is a small shack by the estate entrance where you can try the wines made here along with a lot of tomatoes, paste, and other items. The hostess was very nice and let you try the wines at your own pace.

A fabulous shop selling delicious, unique local produce. We bought olives, jams and oranges from here and were so pleased with everything. The tomato paste is a must too! It was so lovely visiting a family-run shop that has been there for many years, and service was so friendly. We are so glad we came across Ta Mena!

Not very big, but worth a visit if you're nearby. The story - finding a cave while digging a well, and the spending years to dig it out - is fascinating. We were given a tour by the great-great-great-great-grandson 🙂

Pretty incredible little stop in the city, the two granddaughters of the man who discovered the cavern face a very good guided tour. Would recommend if you’re trying to get out of the heat for a bit.

Well worth a visit and very beautiful to see. The tour was great and very interesting. We were shown round by a little old Maltese lady who was the granddaughter of the man who discovered it while digging it out for a well. She told stories and the names of different stalactites and rock formations that have been passed down through generations. The tour lasted about 30 minutes and has no set price, all she asked is for a small donation minimum of 3 euros. But feel free to donate more as it's well worth it.

Lovely little grotto underneath the houses. Lots of other posts with info and I wouldn’t want to take away from the hosts presentation as we were shown around by a great, great (not sure how many greats) granddaughter and younger sister (?) of the man that first dug in to the grotto. Very sweet and worth a quick visit.

One of the most unique experiences in Gozo. The cave is 8 meters below the ground, and the tour is led by a descendant of the man who discovered it, which makes it even more special. She explains things really well.

What a cool spot! Under someone’s house, you ring a bell and pay €3 and it’s a quick 10-15min guided tour

Mary-Ann opened up the grotto and gave us a private tour. Originally dug out for a well to 14m in 1923 by her husband's grandfather, he instead found the grotto. For years he worked away to create a mini labyrinth of fascinating stalactites and stalagmites, opening to the public after WWII. What a great marvel, given the tools of the time. Definitely make time to stop by. For 3 euros, it's a "must do ".

Nice ancient cave discovered by the owner of the house when he was digging and searching for water. Now his granddaughter is taking care of his legacy. Cheap access, only four euros per person, and if you like archeology you must visit this sight.

Not quite what I expected but still nice once you're in there. You have to go down a small passageway, ring a doorbell and a little old lady will let you in. It's just a room beneath a house where there's only enough room for about 4/5 people to stand.

This is a free visit cave. Thanks to the lady, who gave me all details on how this cave was founded by her grandfather 130 years ago. This is a naturally found & well preserved cave. Only this disappointed me was, it's a very small cave of maybe 5000sqmeter approx. Also there are very limited public transits in that area.

I really couldn’t believe it. It is in a sweet lady’s house. She is amazing and has a lot go tell about the cave. The entrance fee is a donation of your choice to charity. Amazing and spontaneous interaction

Lovely cave in the basement of someone’s home!! When I arrived there was no one there but a bell to ring, and a lady came from next door and gave a me a tour and the history of her family. 2€ donation but totally worth it.

A beautiful cave located under a family house. The guide has a beautiful story about how the cave was found by her great grandfather. The cave is also free which was nice. As a whole experience it was very nice and personal. Really recommend to go if you are around this area.

Totally mind blowing that Guzepp Rapa discovered this in 1888 when digging for a water well to build his house. Fantastic that his grand-daughter (an elderly lady) is still showing people round and sharing her family story.

Tried the focaccia and burger for lunch on separate days and they are really tasty. The sweet chili cheddar chips are also a delightful treat. I always eat lunch here whenever I am in Victoria, simply because the establishment is attractive and easy to reach, food is fresh, portions are great, and the service is kind and spot on. Flavoured iced coffees are great too!

Tasty food, variety of options, big portions and quick nice service. We tried a vegan wrap with chickpeas which was tasty, a little bit on a sweet side, but nicely packed and filling. Nice that it was served with a salad, but it had just a little bit too much balsamico dressing. We also had a pizzoto with bacon, parmesan and spinach. The portion was enormous with a lot of filling inside and nicely baked. Overall we were satisifed with everything and we would defintely come back.

Great food. Great service. And great value for money. This place is amazing! I had the mini cooked breakfast and loved it. Didn’t take long to get served and the waiters were very polite. Would definitely recommend coming here.

Starting with the good things, this place has portions bigger than I expected. Freshly squeezed juice options were great, and overall the food was delicious. Option to pay by card is there. Some drawbacks - they didn't have two things that we wanted from the menu, staff seemed a bit cold in terms of communication and the wait time was not short. Overall, I was still happy with my experience here.

Went early morning to try out breakfast. Loved the typical english atmosphere. Sausages were different from the usual...much better. Nice place to start the day before shopping.Appreciate a like to this review..thank you.

Great service, delicious and abundant food. The ingredients are genuine and fresh. We order the homemade hibiscus kombucha, a smoothie, the sicilian pizzotto and the chicken burger with their sweet chilli and cheese fries. Every item exceeded our expectations and it is definitely highly recommended!!

Very good food. good portion sizes and excellent value

We visited this quirky little cafe after visiting the Citadel on Gozo. The service was swift and friendly. All the food we had was very nice and reasonably priced. A great little cafe to visit and enjoy a wide variety of dishes.

I’d say this is quite a local gem! 💫 The food was rather average, so maybe my choice wasn’t perfect — but the place itself has a great local vibe and atmosphere. If you’re looking for something truly Maltese in spirit, this is definitely one of the top spots to visit. 🇲🇹✨

Came here for a quick bite and some drinks, and I gotta say we left with the biggest smile on our faces. The terrace is beautiful, accompanied by relaxing jazz music that makes you feel like you’ve traveled back in time. Such a lovely experience, if we’re ever back in Gozo, we are definitely stopping here.

Both me and the wife had a coffee and a smoothie bowl each. They were excellent - refreshing and really tasty. Service was great, the people are awesome there. 10/10 would come again

I'm definitely come again. I've never been a good cafe like here in Malta. Food, service and atmosphere everything was perfect

Nice little cafe good atmosphere and great service overall. Ham and cheese toastie for €4 around here is a great deal and tasty too! Would recommend.

wonderful restaurant!! the service was incredibly fast, atmosphere is just perfect. we took mqarrun mahmug, nanna's ravioli and green pea and bacon soup. everything was delicious.

With a little hike, you can see such gorgeous view. Pick a less windy day, go to Gozo! Would be nice to watch sunset here as well.

It’s a very calming experience being here. You can travel here by bus and will have to walk 10mins or so to get to the cliffs.

Wow! The view is priceless. You can either come from Ta' Ċenċ (10 minutes on foot from the bus stop), or you can take a beautiful 3h hike from Mgarr (which we did and it was the highlight of our stay I Malta). The cliffs are just stunning.

We went to see the sunset there and it was incredible.

Beautiful. It was a reminder of the Cliffs of Moher at home - but better weather

Difficult to find the way - somehow after the parking lot of the spa hotel just going in the direction to the cliffs

Very nice place if you like nature and hiking. My partner and I witnessed the sunset in November, it was windy but gorgeous. I'm afraid of heights, but I managed to walk fine, but cautiously. Do keep in mind: -if you want to see the sunset, do get there ahead of time!! (as you have might have to cross privately properties) -it might not be easy to get to the cliffs (you might need to cross private property) -if you are afraid of heights, the cliffs and views might be too much/frightening

Great beach for swimming, snorkeling or scuba diving. In adverse weather conditions such as strong westerly winds can be one of only a few beaches that are safe to use. Great seaside Restaurant on the sea front.

Lovely place to swim if you have the rubber shoes( bottom is rocky), and come by motorcycle/ bicycle. Parking is an issue here, not much space but people come and go so you’ll eventually grab a spot.

A beautiful hidden cove with a small pebble beach. There is the option to rent a sunbed with an umbrella (2 sunbeds + umbrella = €15). The water is crystal clear. We visited in the afternoon, and there were few people. Further out, the water is deeper and still so clear that you can see all the way to the bottom. If you’re coming by car, there’s a large parking (free) lot available. We came by Bolt. ☺️

This is a beautiful beach, much better than xlendi or others. I really enjoyed swimming here however the slope was very scary for the car so I parked s bit further away. It's a small beach but so lovely and calm and beautiful colours. Definitely worth going to visit and swim in 🏖️

A tranquil little beach in Gozo, perfect if you’re looking for a peaceful swim. The waters are crystal clear and absolutely beautiful. We got there around 11am and it wasn’t busy at all, which made it even more enjoyable. There’s also a small café nearby and some water sports available, so you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing day.

Gorgeous small beach with snorkeling and jumping from rocks into the sea with a small shed for refreshments worthwhile! Be warned steep road down

If it weren't for the incredible beauty of the place, I wouldn't give it such a high rating, access is not so easy for those who are going as a driving, with access from a super narrow road it’s a little challenge to get to, nothing impossible but hard for some drivers. But the beauty and structure with bars and water entertainment are wonderful.

Great day, good instructions on the day, take photos before and after to show condition of the quads. Easy to book. Lots of luggage space if needed. Only not 5 stars as very expensive deposit required €450 per quad seemed a bit excessive. We had a great day though and would use again, easy access from the bus stop.

My wife and I decided to book a quad for the day while we were on the way to the airport in the US for our trip to Malta. The booking experience was very easy. Cost and deposits were clearly explained. Once on Gozo, our phones really didn't work well, but with minimal effort we made our way to the rental location on time. We were greeted in a friendly manner, took care of the requisite paperwork, and received very clear instructions. I really appreciated the carrier on the back of the quad to store our backpacks etc. The rest of the day my wife and I enjoyed one of the best highlights of our trip. Using the quad, I was able to get into places that were challenges to cars. We visited every site on our list. Our experience was 10/10. If we visit again, this will be a must do.

We rented a quad and were absolutely thrilled! Our contact person, Prince, was incredibly friendly and helpful – he even waited longer for us because we unfortunately missed our ferry. Despite the delay, he still took the time to explain everything to us thoroughly. And the quad itself? Hands down the coolest one on the entire island! Great condition, super stylish, and an awesome ride. We’d book again in a heartbeat – highly recommended! Huge thanks to Prince for the amazing service 🙌🏼🔥

I had a great experience with these guys, Vicente and Charlotte were really helpful, I would do it again 100x times

Absolutely fantastic day! Got to explore Gozo better than I expected, Prince great explanation person, Highly recommend!!!!!! We hire Quads for all day! Beautiful island to explore!!! Thanks guys!!!!!

Great experience ! The quads were easy to navigate and the provided map was also great. Was one of the best activities we did in Malta ! 100% recommendations! A must do if you wanna experience Gozo

Absolutely fantastic day! Got to explore Gozo better than I expected, Owners are great at explaining everything even though I own quads back home in Australia it is to be expected and a bit of common sense goes a long way. Highly recommend these guys and my only regret is I should have done an all day hire instead of a half, that’s how great it was! Always next time👍

Fantastic shop. Excellent guides. Expert knowledge of diving in Gozo and anticipate the needs of technical divers. We had a fun time diving with their fleet DPVs as well! They even gave us the option to do some boat diving to break up the shore dives. They were very flexible too in terms of dive locations and always had a backup plan in case the wind wasn’t cooperating. They were not just professional but they were also so much fun to spend time with. Can’t wait to come back and do it all over again!!!

Tom Steiner and Gozo Technical Diving it's without a doubt the place to go if you look for excellence in Technical Diving. Superb diving and teaching skills. 10/10

Gozo Technical Diving left us with a disappointing experience after a 6-day diving trip with 4 divers, including 3 CCR divers and 1 OC diver. We had clearly communicated in advance that we wanted to dive on historical wrecks, which was initially confirmed for around €500 per dive. However, upon arrival, the price suddenly increased to €750, and it had to be split between more divers, who eventually showed up only at the end of the 5th diving day, and didn’t even want to do a wreck dive. This led to poor planning and unmet expectations. The owner, Tom Steiner, didn't seem enthusiastic. He showed little involvement, didn’t ask about our experiences, and didn’t offer any tips or advice. Despite paying for unguided dives on top of the equipment rental, there was a clear lack of passion and customer service. For the price you pay, you expect better organization and service. Fortunately, the rest of the staff was friendly, and we met other divers on site. However, the promised wreck dive with the boat never happened. Overall, it was poorly managed by Mr. Steiner, who seemed to prefer smoking his cigarettes at the dive center rather than engaging with his clients.

Just posted a full review on trip advisor about what a great time we had here. Summarized: excellent and professional staff of experienced divers guiding and providing transportation around this beautiful island to dive the fantastic shipwrecks, walls, fissures, caverns and more. Loved the staff and the dive sites. Higher caliber divers guiding and everything technical a technical or recreational diver may want. Check out this review of Gozo Diving on Tripadvisor: https://www.tripadvisor.ca/ShowUserReviews-g190319-d1235493-r946433197-Gozo_Diving-Xewkija_Island_of_Gozo.html

We are a family of four, that wanted to try diving. We had a half day private intro and it was just great - we had the feeling the instructors had all the time in the world for us. Very friendly staff and kind of a relaxed family feeling. Can only recommend it!

Just had a weeks diving with GTD and what a great experience. Friendly and extremely knowledgeable team at this dive centre. Coupled with fantastic facilities for all types of diving, there really is no other place to go.

Professional, friendly staff, great equipment, perfect Tec set-up. Loved our 6 days of wreck & blue hole diving with these guys. Would absolutely dive with them again. Tom is a legend.

Absolutely amazing! The service was great, food was great and the prices were very economical! Best coffee we have had thus far.

We go to Bunna for coffee/breakfast and sometimes for lunch every weekend, it’s delicious. Two beautiful Italian souls and now they became friends. They even care for our fur babies 🐕. I highly recommend Bunna Bar 🥰

Best coffee in town and the friendliest people serving you. Try their sandwiches as well plus their homemade lemonade! A must visit for coffee lovers.

No nonsense service, and also great coffees, good croissants / cake. Seems more of a spot where the locals come by, and the two women running the place are the heart of the place. Great place.

Coffee & prices are ok.. but staff was in a bad mood and unloading it on customers. Awful... Wouldnt come again.

The best cafe in whole Malta! Incredible service, atmosphere, excellent home made sweets, and savory stuff like baguettes, focaccia, salads (must try their parmigiana baguette 😍). Perfect coffee shakerato. Always good to be here!

Splendid caneloni with ricotta cheese and coffee. Nice view of Victoria's main street.

Great place for a drink whilst waiting for the ferry back to Valletta. The owner is so friendly and the views of the harbour are fabulous.

Great stuff here. the IPA is supreme! we had 2 meat plates ans hardly can handle ;)

Great place for a drink whilst waiting for the ferry back to Valletta (and not only). The owners are very friendly and the views of the harbour are fabulous. The atmoshere is really top-notch, just like described by A.J. Quinnell so many years ago.

Cozy bar in lively Mgarr harbour. Very close to arrival/departure area so ideal for short refreshment. The added value of this place is the terrace with spectacular view on the harbour and all the boats. It seems that this terrace is freely accessible and it is also nice place for taking the pictures.

Perfect bar overlooking the harbor. Arrived around 7:30pm and it was not too crowded. It's not a huge establishment. IMO it is best suited for small groups.

Great spot after getting off the ferry or while waiting for it. Nice interior and good sea view. Lovely pints and server behind the bar was very friendly.

Great bar, great drinks! Awesome views and very interesting and old history. Almost 300 years old!

Small museum with some interesting displays. Less than one hour to see the displays.

The museum has poor exhibits and not great information. It took around 10 mins to traverse. It was free as part of the combined ticket (see below), but I think it's not worth the time unless you have a significant interest in archaeology. Entry to the museum is €5 on its own (not good value) or €13 as part of a combined ticket that includes 5 Citadella museums (Citadella visitor centre), museum of archaeology, old prison, Gran Castillo historic house, and nature museum) as well as the Ggantija Archeological park (€10 on its own, making the combined ticket worthwhile) and Ta Kola windmill.

One of five museums available for the daily citadel pass. I rated this one the lowest of the five.

Small and interseting museum about history of a citadell and its souroundings, whole experience is in 3 small rooms, takes about 5 min to look around, if you are not deeply inte the details.

Some interesting things and together with the museum in Valletta, inspired us to visit the actual temples in person. Part of the 5 museums you can visit for EUR 5 at Citadel.

It’s a rather smaller but informative museum. It only has two floors with small rooms. Although there was quite a bit on display, I feel like I was better informed at other museums. Still decent none the less.

This museum is small but has many interesting stuff like what did they use and also shows a real skull and parts of a human.

This old-house-now-museum spans across a number of floors (not suitable for disabled visitors) and a labyrinth of rooms. There wasn't a huge amount of information about the rooms and their uses in the museum. It took around 20 mins to traverse. It was free as part of the combined ticket (see below). Entry to the museum is €5 on its own (not good value) or €13 as part of a combined ticket that includes 5 Citadella museums (Cittadella visitor centre), museum of archaeology, old prison, Gran Castillo historic house, and nature museum) as well as the Ggantija Archeological park (€10 on its own, making the combined ticket worthwhile) and Ta Kola windmill.

A must visit in Gozo. It is free to enter and walk around the perimeter wall which has spectacular 360 degree views of Gozo. There an entrance fee of 5euros per adult, children and students £4euros to enter the Cathedral which includes the museum. Be aware mid afternoon in July it is very, very hot with nest to no shade or breeze.

Located in the Citadel, the real draw is the picturesque courtyard / balconies in this small museum. This is included with some other small museums as part of the Citadel visitor ticket. (€5)

Recommended visit to see a collection of items related to Gozitan history in terms of folklore, food, tools, furniture, and other antiquities. It is worth getting the ticket to visit the museums Gozo from Heritage Malta, as this is one of the spaces included.

We had a lovely day here, we paid for entry which gave you access to the 5 museums. They are all beautiful kept, the whole place is stunning and worth a visit even if you don’t go in the museums.

Interesting place in Gozo to visit

This was included in the very advantageous and recommended thirty day Heritage Malta Multisite Pass. There were some interesting exhibits but the multimedia video presentations were inaudible.

The museum is very basic, though I found the little information available quite interesting. It took around 10 mins to look around the prison. It was free as part of the combined ticket (see below). You can go in one of the prison cells, and see into a couple more (the entire prison is 6 cells, two hallways, and another open air room. Entry to the museum is €5 on its own (not good value) or €13 as part of a combined ticket that includes 5 Citadella museums (Citadella visitor centre), museum of archaeology, old prison, Gran Castillo historic house, and nature museum) as well as the Ggantija Archeological park (€10 on its own, making the combined ticket worthwhile) and Ta Kola windmill.

Small but nice bit of history to see, the whole area is free for the most part and the small cost to go into a couple of the buildings was worth it.

This museum was included in the very advantageous and recommended thirty day Heritage Malta Multisite Pass. It was worth visiting while at the Citadel, with some interesting historical context and graffiti in the cell.

Not very big, but still worth a visit and a photo in the stocks!

Small passage between prison cells, you can go inside one, there are old markings, writings and sketches of ships, very interesting, whole experice takes max 10 minutes. Not bad, but also not missing out on anything special. Entrance fee is 5 euros, is valid for 2 more museums in the citadel ( but not the cathedral ). Museums are very small.

Well preserved old prison with original graffiti on the wall

I personally love in historical sites the « people like me lived here once » vibe. This is a place like this. What I loved about it is that you get to see all the graffiti’s that cellmates from the 19th century drew into the wall, that is pretty amazing if you are into this kind of things

Make sure to check out the country house and the prisons! The panoramic video will mostly show you what you could learn from the screens already, so decide if A/C blasting at your head with gale power is worth it. Check out the historically accurate souvenirs like a knight hospitalier with a dragon wings crossguard on his sword or the one with a tsuba!

The Cittadella, often called the Citadel, to be the magnificent, fortified crown jewel perched high above Gozo's capital, Victoria. This ancient city offers one of the most essential cultural experiences in the Maltese archipelago, and I would say a visit here is mandatory for any traveler to Gozo. Its primary draw, however, is the incredible 360-degree panoramic view. I had the privilege of walking the ramparts at night, which truly enhanced the whole experience. From up there, I could effortlessly trace the sparkling lights of the entire island, taking in the dark rural valleys and scattered villages, feeling a real sense of fun and awe as the Mediterranean Sea stretched out into the distance. The photo opportunities, even after dark, were unparalleled, and the view alone justified the journey up. Historically, walking its narrow, limestone-lined streets immediately transported me back centuries. Inside the formidable walls, I explored the stunning Baroque Gozo Cathedral and several excellent small museums (like the Gozo Museum of Archaeology). While much of the city has undergone significant restoration, giving it a somewhat pristine and modern feel in places, the vast scale and the rich historical narrative remain firmly intact. It's a beautifully preserved monument that perfectly encapsulates Gozo’s spirit and offers a fantastic blend of history, architecture, and unparalleled scenic beauty, truly making it the undeniable heart of Gozo.

Visited on a sunny afternoon and it’s easily one of the most striking spots in Gozo. The views from the top are panoramic—rolling hills, rooftops, and sea in the distance. The restored stonework and winding paths give it a timeless feel, but it’s also well-maintained and easy to explore. Not crowded when we went, which made it feel even more special. Great for a slow wander, a few photos, and soaking up the history without the usual tourist rush. Definitely worth the climb.

Beautiful Cittadella, free to enter and walk around. Try and avoid the middle, these streets were designed to be complicated and difficult to find your way out. Best to walk up the street on the left hand side of the church, walk along the side of the church to the far wall then up the stairs onto the ramparts, this will bring you back around to the clock tower at the front entrance. You will get plenty of photos up there. Not for those who don't like heights.

It was an amazing opportunity to explore this major landmark in Victoria. To learn about the Cittadella is also to learn the history of this country. I recommend checking out the museums if you want an immersive experience, because there are a lot of places to visit in such a tiny city. Nearby the walls, you can see almost the entire island and parts of Comino and Malta, because the Cittadella was build on high ground.

The Citadel is worth a visit but beware there are steps involved and the lift was out of order due to that section being renovated. Once in there you will find lots of artifacts and the views are beautiful.

It’s a must. If you enjoy history and culture and visiting small but interesting museums this is the place along with gift shops and places to get cold drinks also there are some public toilets.

I stopped by Sphinx Pastizzeria in Gozo and grabbed 3 cheese pastizzis, they were unreal. Perfectly flaky pastry, golden and crisp on the outside, with a warm, creamy ricotta filling that just melted in my mouth. Simple, traditional, and absolutely delicious. If you’re anywhere near Victoria, do yourself a favour and try one (or three). This place is a gem!

Really nice pastries only you get this Gozo..I call this best pastries made in haven ....best is peas fillings but the cheeses filling second to none. I tried both this will fill you up proper . Both my young girls tried the Nutella filled pastries which is the sweet version really liked it. Well worth trying..

We had a great experience at Sphinx Pastizzeria in Victoria! They offer a variety of delicious local snacks like pastizzi, arancini, and ftira — perfect for a quick and tasty bite. The staff were super friendly and took the time to explain the different local delicacies to us. It’s a fantastic place to enjoy authentic Maltese flavors in a relaxed and casual setting. Highly recommended!

The best pea pasty on Gozo and only 0.40€. Friendly and efficient staff. Try them, you won't be disappointed....they were that good, I had four!!!

The nice lady behind the counter helped me as I did not have any cash. She was incredible generous and sweet. The Pastizzi was a 10/10. Would definitely recommend!!

Best pea pistazzi I’ve ever had. Delicious! Very fast, straight-forward, no-nonsense service

I should have read the reviews before coming here, as unfortunately I too faced the poor service this chain is famous for. On one of the Saint George feast days some friends and I decided to stop here on the way back to the parking lot. It was around 11:30 pm. I was surprised to see pastizzi in the display that late. I asked the employee if these were fresh. She quickly became agitated and confrontational, raising her voice. I tried to amicably defuse the situation and said that I was just asking a simple question. She kept going on, making a scene, complaining multiple times that she was here working at midnight and had to deal with questions from customers. I later thought to myself that I found her point a bit odd seeing how she chose to move literally half-way around the world and to then take this job. She continued making a scene, so I informed her that I won't be spending my money there, and I turned around, and we all walked away. I knew what she was trying to do as I've seen this before when I lived abroad for many years. Its a tactic of a certain part of the world, where they make you feel that you did something wrong so that you feel guilty and spend more. If you are a tourist or a local who is in search of real local food then do not shop at this large corporate chain that has absolutely nothing local about it. Do not give them your business, and do not accept this rude and disrespectful behavior. If you accept it then this will be the norm going forward. You are better off shopping at a real bakery in one of the villages, where ftira is not incorrectly pronounced as "fatira". To the owners of this chain, if you hire garbage then that is exactly the type of service your customers will receive.

As per other reviews, they need to sort out their opening hours. Turned up with my toddler & it was closed despite google suggesting otherwise; see photo of plaque & see if you can decipher!

Fascinating collection of curios. The owner is very friendly and keen to demonstrate exhibits.

A brilliant place for people born since the 1950s, they'll find lots of toys they played with. It brought back lots of memories of the toys I played with then, both mine and my slightly older friends in the village. The people who run the museum are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I'll certainly be visiting this museum again, the next time I'm on Gozo, because I'm sure I missed lots of things with spending so much time reminiscing on the toys. Thank you for taking me back 60 years.

This was just another treasure we found on an adventure to Gozo during our family visit to Malta! It seems like this museum is in the middle of a quiet neighborhood- no big crowds. It was quaint and intimate. Of course, my 4 daughters (ages 1-11) were all thrilled to look at each an every one of the toys. And, we were not too surprised to learn that Edward Lear loved his visits to Gozo just as much as we did. Best for me, though, was having a chance to chat with the woman working there. I love getting to know more about the area we are visiting by chatting with locals. She was working on making a special kind of Maltese lace, which also interested me very much! She was so warm and welcoming. It's worth spending some time in this sweet museum to soak up some history!

This was a delightful find close to Xerri's grotto. Our toddler loved looking at the toys in the glass cases, and there are even a few toys they can play with (carefully!). It is small, but worth a visit.

Interesting but very small. You'll have a warm welcome and maybe a show of old toys by the owner.

Nice and very interesting toy museum. The owners should think about getting some help to maintain it a bit...maybe volunteering...

I rarely give 5 stars, but wow. Great service and stellar food. The host was a really nice, polite guy. Great selection of wine too. Great selection of locally sourced food and traditional food mixed with more mainstream dishes. Cannot recommend enough.

If you’re looking for a good place to eat in Gozo, look no further. Amazing food, very well curated. The atmosphere was also nice, quiet and the service very friendly. Nothing negative to point out

This place was the absolute best food and wine I've had on the Island. The staff was friendly and very helpful. It was such an awesome experience🎉 would definitely recommend.

Loved it here. The little higher price from other restaurants is totally worth it. The place is really nice and from the peek I took from upstairs the bar downstairs looks amazing. Had a birthday dinner and we where around 15. Great atmosphere and the food was good. Sorry about the messy plates but i had to try the meat before the photo. It was kangaroo which i never tried before. It is not on the main menu but on the specials. BE AWARE of the specials as there are some great choices which are written on a board. I liked the attention to detail which helps you to have a lovely night. As we were a large group most of restaurants try to save on the sides but here he brought enough to share well between us. Not to mention the bread with the amazing paste which i had to take a picture of 🤤. Also soft drinks in glass bottles which is better and has a good selection of wine. Nice staff and friendly owner. Recommend for a nice evening to hang out in the restaurants with family/friends. If you like fast service to just eat and leave not sure this is the best place.

A place with a beautiful ambience inside and out. It is sea facing. It’s a beautiful place for a date night. We chose to go there seeing the google rating and was never dissatisfied. Service is very polite and friendly. Food was delicious. I have shared some pictures of what we had. The cocktails aren’t that great. But the restaurant has a huge collection of wines. Food is well decorated and tasty as well. After all why I give a 4 star is because I was disturbed by many flys.

Beautiful place. Lovely service. Amazing wines. Good atmosphere. Huge meals ! Highly recommend!!

Really excellent! Even though a bit aside from the main routes, this restaurant serves local dishes of a really high quality. A great assortment of wines as well, so this is a great place to spend an evening!
