The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta' Pinu, a significant pilgrimage site in Gozo, Malta, is generally accessible, though some steps may require assistance or alternative routes; it's advisable to check for ramp availability. Visitors can explore the basilica solo for quiet contemplation or join guided tours, often part of broader Gozo excursions, to gain historical and religious insights. The shrine is open year-round, typically free of charge (donations appreciated), but checking seasonal opening hours and mass schedules beforehand is recommended. A typical visit lasts between 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, allowing time to appreciate the stunning architecture and peaceful ambiance. As it is an active place of worship, modest dress (shoulders and knees covered) is expected, and visitors can also explore the ex-voto offerings in a dedicated exhibition area.
