    Fun fact about the upper Barrakka Gardens, those arches used to be roofed, however after an uprising by Maltese priests against Grandmaster Francisco Ximénez de Tejada in 1775, he removed the roof since the rebels used to meet within the arches for their plots :D (by the way, the island you were referring to as Gozo is in fact, Comino. Gozo is a little bit further north and is the second largest island in the archipelago)

    Great Video! Malta is really beautiful. We go there for our autumn vacation since 12 years. About the aquarium: Yes, it is small compared to installations in the US (and elsewhere). But most of the species presented are local, placed in surroundings that you could actually find around the islands when you go scuba diving, and that's where the sea life is the most beautiful. Next time you come back, maybe safe that money and spend it on the fee to visit St. John's Co-Cathedral. It might take your breath away. Thank you for your video. Now I can't wait to got back there.

    I am sorry but if you are making a video, at least make an effort to get the names of the places right (not pronounciation but literally mixing up the names of places!!!!) All it takes is a 2 minute Google search. And since this is a travel video, it is all the more important. Some points I really have to comment about as a local; 1) Malta is not a 2/3 day holiday. Yes we are small, but our main attractions are the historical sites which need at least a week to cover the main sites. 2) St. John's Co-Cathedral (not St. Paul's lol) is a must. It's like going to Rome and skipping out on the Vatican. €15 is totally worth it, and that €40 boat trip is a scam in comparison (you can get to equally beautiful beaches for free) 3) You failed to even mention the Megalithic Temples which are older than the pyramids!!!!! They are a must to visit at least 1 of them. 4) The aquarium and the boat trips are a scam and waste of time and money

    Hey, thanks for watching! We did say the aquarium was a waste of money, also not everyone has the time/money to stay an entire week in Malta. The way we travel if you’ve seen our other videos is quick and efficient, and we’re not the biggest fans of historical sites, especially after visiting so many in our previous videos in Greece & Sicily. The boat trip was super convenient and we had such an amazing time. We booked the night before so you can to imagine how difficult it would be to find a comparable option. Also we didn’t even know about the Megalithic Temples, but it doesn’t look like something we would want to do.
