I'm heading back for my 5th trip to Malta in just 3 weeks and I can't wait. It's such a great country. I love the people, the food, the architecture, absolutely everything. The churches are so beautiful they've brought tears to my eyes. I've made friends with the locals who are very loud, want to know everything about you, and love to have a chat. I get a 1-week bus pass for 21 euros and the buses are frequent and go everywhere you need to go. I stay in St Pauls Bay, this trip at the Mayflower Hotel. It's a quieter area of Malta, so you can head around and see all the sights amongst the hustle and bustle then head back to where things are quieter. I love the little casino in St Paul Bay for a bit of a gamble and cocktails in the evening. I love Bingo with all the Maltese nonnas. I love walking along the wide paths that hug the seaside. I love the Maltese balconies on the houses and all the saints by the front door of people's homes. As for the food, my favourite thing is beef olives. Gosh, I just can't wait.

[@humbleprogress1226]

5th trip!! wow. Would you recommend as a honeymoon destination?

[@diane_4]

​@@humbleprogress1226Yes. Though Malta is a small Island, it is beautiful and many places to go too. My fav place is the Ramla bay resort. Especially there panoramic Sea view suite. A much more quieter and relaxing place to stay rather than Sliema and Valletta ect. Also its just a 5 minute drive to catch the Gozo ferry to visit Gozo. Mdina is a nice romantic place to visit and dine there, also Rabat which is right near Mdina. Alot of restaurants and good food.

[@diane_4]

​@@humbleprogress1226yes.

[@ZebraMan74]

Very useful! Now I can't wait to see Malta for myself! It honestly looks so beautiful, and the food also looks - and sounds - delicious!

[@michaelkrupar9808]

Thanks for this. I'm planning a trip to Malta this September/October so I'm sure I'll be watching this again and again.

[@ZebraMan74]

I went there last month and it is an absolutely wonderful country

[@OneRedFeatherStudios.]

I love those places that are heavily steeped in tradition and culture, so Malta seems like such a good fit for my style of travel. Thank you for your amazing videos and information. Great job once again.

[@HappytoWander]

Aw thank you so much! It definitely sounds like you would enjoy Malta. Hope you get to see it for yourself sometime soon 🤞🏼

[@joeirani7130]

Real, straight to the point. Practical tips. Thanks

[@ZebraMan74]

Just visted Malta for 3 days, and for the most part I enjoyed it, but I really didn't like the bus which I got to Mdina, it was very busy like you said at 4:08 and slow, and the seats felt really uncomfortable. And yes, Valletta (and Malta too) to me seemed to have a lot of British influence. Will definitely go again!

[@Ramsku]

Thanks I got home sick now!!! Amazing video! I am one of those who love Maltese sweaty summers. Cannot wait to go back!

[@contiflex]

Thank you for a great video, I was born in Malta in 1954 and left for the UK when I was 2. My husband is taking me on holiday to Malta in September and I am so excited to visit the place I was born for the first time.

[@RoseAndWorld7]

That’s very nice! Any restaurants you recommend in Valleta?

[@tmonkeybits9082]

That's brilliant. My wife was, like you, born there and left when she was still an infant. I took her there as a surprise for her 40th birthday. At the airport she broke down in tears of joy when she realised where I was taking her to (I'd told her we were going to Barcelona). When we landed and the doors opened on the plane she said she felt like she was finally back home. I'd done some research beforehand and took her back to the flats that she had been born in whilst we were there. Been back a couple of times since and going again in a couple of weeks from now and we can't wait!

[@diane_4]

​@@RoseAndWorld7There are many good restaurants in Valletta and also at the Valletta Waterfront.

[@maureenblack4505]

Thank you! for your video. I will visit Malta this year and your tips are great!

[@pagathogli]

Love your videos. So informative and to the point. Thankyou

[@dianecampbell7240]

Thanks for this video! I'm visiting Malta at the end of September, so this is super-helpful and informative.

[@scottstanford3832]

Very well done, thank you for your hard work!!

[@JohnB1872]

Top tip - use Bolt or Uber to get around relatively cheaply. Don’t hire a car, it’s chaotic.

[@biancavieira1345]

So insightful. Thank you for your tips.

[@Liusila]

Malta is not cheap, especially the places you want to visit as a tourist. The better restaurants cost the same as in any more visited capital in Western Europe.

[@wildsurfer12]

You should also talk about the scuba diving. Malta is very popular with European divers due to it’s large number of shipwrecks from both WW1 and WW2.

[@Smucko1]

Great video! Packed with a lot of info in a short video.

[@RumelaLincoln]

Love your honest description of Malta. Im planning to visit it one day for it's rich History. Thank you

[@ZebraMan74]

I went to Valletta back in April, and let me tell you that it has a lot of historical sights to see! It's also such a beautiful capital city!

[@GreatCityAttractions]

the history in Malta looks wonderful - right from 4000 bc.

[@CathyTalksMiami]

Great video! All your videos are really good, very educational & engaging. Question, I am looking for a good camera to film myself, which one (not too expensive), easy to use, would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

[@HappytoWander]

Thanks so much for the kind words! My camera is a bit pricey (it’s the Sony A7IV) but my first good camera was the Nikon D3200 which served me well for many years :)

[@dusicababic7828]

My goodness, how it’s changed. I lived in Selima in 1957. When did the high rise occur in Valletta? Cannot believe the changes.

[@Harteo3917]

Don't go to Malta right now it's chaos like construction work everywhere, it appears countries overseas have been given a lot of money to renovate all the hotels or build new ones into B&Bs which no longer have kitchens, you have to at least book breakfast, and you have to rent a fridge now but Malta seems to be extra slow at doing things so it's going to take a few years to be complete.

[@durtybasket25]

should i pre-book my visit to comino on get your guide or can i just get the boat with waterslide directly from there

[@PleaseApplaud]

I couldn't believe the price she showed. We had a look at options to book on TripAdvisor and they're roughly £25-£35 ($32-45 US$). Loads of places have boards advertising them so there is plenty of availability if you're staying somewhere touristy, and all the boards with prices on say 30euros.

[@henrycaruana3896]

Maltese, an official European language, is a unique mixture of semitic and latin . It is a semitic language, written in latin script, and owes it latin influence after the expulsion of all muslims from the island by the Normans in the early 11th centuary. Thereafter, Malta, up until 1964 , was under one or many European (hence influence on language) ruler/s.
