  The Hagar Qim and Mnajdra temples are World Heritage sites that should not be missed out from any tour of Malta. The museum and careful preservation work being undertaken on them is impressive in themselves, though the protective roofs looka little like circus tents at first glance. They do offer some welcome shade on sunny days or cover from the rain on wet ones like outs, however, which rapidly changed my mind. The surrounding area is beautiful as well offering several other nature walks and stunning views. Highly recommended!

  Wee were blown away by this site. It is ancient and pretty well preserved and the museum is very informative. Just being able to wander around a site that is 5000 years old is incredible. Very well looked after.

  The Hagar Qim temple is very impressive. The museum is interesting and the "4D" film about the construction and history of the temples is great. You can walk through the temple and spend quite a bit of time there. The area around the temples and the view over the sea is beautiful. Definite recommendation!

  I was unimpressed with this temple, which is located in southern Malta and easily accessible from most places on the island via bus. For me it was spoilt by the big white tent with metal struts that it sits under. I know it has to be preserved, but with all the ingenuity of man surely they could have found a more photogenic way of doing it. It obscures the countryside and loses all sense of context, so the temple becomes just a few stones. The temple is well preserved and you can walk around it, and it's very ancient. The quality of the information isn't great and so it's hard to work out what you're seeing if you don't take a tour. I preferred Tarxien to here.

  The tour starts with a "4D" film showing the construction and discovery of the site complete with wind effects. Entry fee (10 Euro) is for the exhibition and both temples although the second temple is down a steep path and is quite a slog back up.

  Amazing how these stones were moved and erected(including a single 20 ton stone)thousands of years agoHow/why they arranged it with holes for the summer solstice (and other equinox's),sun is still open for debateA Unesco World Heritage Site.There is a 5D introductory short video in the small but informative visitor centre.Audio sets are extra to the admission fee(which is included in the Malta Pass Card scheme),but very useful to understand all areas,you could easily share one.There is the Hagar Qim site,then 500meters away is the Mnajdra site.Its a pleasant downhill walk to it (and a bit of effort needed for us older ones walking back up!)Allow 1 and a half hours to do in total.

  Hagar Qim and Mnajdra Temples must be seen! These are extraordinary stone age constructions, and will (along with Tarxien and the Hypogeum) challenge everything you think about that era. These are also in a beautiful setting by the sea. There is a half-hourly bus service which drops you outside (which runs from Dingli to the airport). The museum is good as well. There is a privately-run restaurant next door to the site.

  As noted by other reviewers, these temples are 1,000 years older than the Egyptian Pyramids and 1600 years older than Stonehenge. They were constructed by people with extensive knowledge of architectural principles and clever pulley and wheel mechanisms and they are gorgeous sitting on the cliff by water's edge. But, the most intriguing question is why these people would have had such a massive temple complex on such a tiny island and how they supported the complex. According to experts, the one of the temples is designed to capture the sun and track Venus. There is also evidence of the tracking of astrological signs. We hired a private guide to take us all over the island (quite inexpensive compared with other EU destinations) and thought that the guide made the experience of driving the coastline and considering the history of the temples quite alive and interesting. I also recommend a visit to the Museum of Archeology where many of the artifacts from the temples are displayed.

  Impressive prehistoric site with the remains of two temples separated by a downhill walk of 500m or so. The man made covering that protects the ancient site takes away from the overall impression . However, I understand the necessity. The walk back allows one to detour along the cliff top. The walk is lovely but pretty rough. Along the way you may encounter some of Maltas bird life, flora and fauna.we used the hop on/off open top bus to get there. It made the journey to this remote site easier.

  This is a prehistoric site which consists of monumental megalithic buildings built around 5000 years ago.It is a very interesting place which can be visited at Qrendi, close to the sea, open daily from 09:00 to 17:15 (Oct 1st to end of March) and from 09:00 to 19:15 (April 1st to end of September). Easily accessible by bus wich is also a very pleasant journey.
