Following the lifting of certain COVID-19 restrictive measures by the health authorities, Heritage Malta will be reopening its museums and sites in the week starting May 10.
Opening days and times will be similar to those before the latest measures were put in place, meaning that sites and museums will not be open every day. As has been the practice during the past months, all visits to Heritage Malta sites and museums will be conducted in strict adherence to public health regulations related to the pandemic.
Open days will also be resuming as of May, the first one being held on May 16 at the Abbatija tad-Dejr catacombs in Rabat. Admission will be against a donation of €2 per person and the opening times will be from 10am till 4.30pm.
Another open day will be organised on May 30 at Ta’ Bistra Catacombs, which have been closed for quite some time due to an ongoing project. Admission will also be against a €2 donation.
