Hypogeum Malta without Tickets
 
We're off to Malta in 3 weeks and, unfortunately, our plans were a bit up in the air until late in the game. As a result, I wasn't able to book tickets for the Hypogeum and now they're all booked up during our stay.

Anybody have any great ideas for getting admission?

Thanks in advance!

You could try a tour company. I checked Viator but they don't do trips to the Hypogeum.

Keep checking the web site to see if there are any additional tours.

Email your hotel and see if they can get tickets.

It was the best of the temples.

I have a feeling that the cruise ships buy up the tickets as there is no availability until almost the end of October. This happens a lot with advanced ticket sales. I also can't believe that it costs E30 for the Hypogeum!

Did you read this on the web site?

"The Hypogeum is open Monday to Sunday from 09.00 till 16.00 (last tour). Eight tours are conducted each day and these commence on the hour.

Tickets for two of these tours (noon and 16.00 hours), which are only sold as ‘last minute tickets’, can be obtained from the National Museum of Fine Arts and the Gozo Museum of Archaeology on the day before the visit."

Adrienne,

Thanks so much for the information... I completely missed that!

I'll look into it.

Thanks,
Alan
