St Paul’s Catacombs

Excellent value for money. The main part has two catacombs to visit (one of which is a huge underground complex). Then you can go over the road to another 18 catacombs! Lovely staff. We got there first thing in the morning and we had the place to ourselves.

A couple hours spent on a wet weekday morning in the catacombs. Provided with free Audioguide on your phone. Some interesting things were seen on this visit and would definitely recommend visiting. Wish I had seen more bones however understand from the history why we may not have seen these. Definitely not for people who aren’t very mobile/flexible/nimble as some of the walkways were very tight/required putting yourself in some awkward positions.

Just out of the main part of Mdina, St Paul's Catacombs was a decent enough with some serious history there. It's essentially a series of tombs, just below ground, that have been carved out of existing catacombs Spent about 45 minutes there and felt I'd seen enough. Once you've seen a half dozen you've seen 'em all? I used it to finish off my day in Mdina and can be seen on a multi-exhibition ticket with the Natural History Museum. Bathroom was immaculately clean late in the day.

For 6 euro a very nice museum. A free audio guide is available for download and more than 18 tombs to enter. Very cool

Very cool and interactive catacombs. You go through narrow underground passes, watching burial places of 2 000 years ago... Not much carving or other decorations, almost no bones, but it is definitely worth visiting.

They are a typical complex or interconnected underground Roman cemeteries which were to use up to 4 AD. Personally- a disappointing experience. After having seen the first, biggest complex on one side of the street, the rest felt the same and simply boring. What's more, I didn't feel comfortable in those cramped narrow burial places. I felt lacking air and a bit anxious. The grounds were nice to walk about in the sunshine. I heard that in st Agatha's catacombs you visit with a guide, which might be a totally different experience. Must try next time.

It's scary but worth the visit. Note: Heels are not allowed. Flat shoes recommended. Beware of ceiling height and avoid if you are claustrophobic although there are panic buttons all along the routes.

I went in early Dec. 2024 and there were very few people. So I could cover it in a very relaxed pace. It is worth a visit if you are in the Rabat/Mdina area of Malta.
