Having lived in Malta for 5 years, I can say that it is a beautiful country in some parts, and a deeply troubled in other. It’s definitely worth a trip or even a short expatriate year though. Particularly when you’re young! ❤️
Your intro to this, about the history of the people of Malta was wonderful. This is the reason I travel. I want to see the places where people made history. I want to have appreciation for those who came before us and for cultures different from mine. Wonderful video.
Great video!! As always!! But where's the cheapest, fastest, best Pint of beer will cost, cup of coffee will cost... Love that Intel. Especially to and from airport routings and getting around the city.
A pint from a supermarket will cost around 1Euro, or approximately $1.20... of course, from bars it will cost around $3.50.. coffee is very cheap (from the same bar above, it would cost around 50cents. We only have one airport, and it is easy as pie to get to and from it. Buses pass all the time, and it is perhaps 45 minutes from there to the capital depending on the time... (rush hours are nuts). The capital of Valletta is mostly car-free, and it is tiny, although jam packed. As a resident of malta (54 yrs now), we have beautiful historical places to visit, entertainment centres and quiet little hideaways, but we are also politically troubled, although why it should be so, I cannot imagine... since it is obvious that families will have a mix of Labour against Nationalists (Democratics, sort of)... Families are also hell bent into getting in trouble over the village 'festa', a celebration of the patron saint of that town or village. Religion runs deep into roots here, although thankfully most of the younger people are moving away... And it is EFFING hot... mid may to mid september is terrifically hot... it is 41Celsius in the shade today (105F !!!)... third day in a row. Very mild winter. I don't even HAVE a jacket, or long sleeve shirts... Just a couple of hoodies, and you're fine, even in deepest winter... (RARELY below 5 Celsius, 41F)
Malta is well worth a visit, fabulous place, take a boat trip cross to their little islands the best view ever! I recommend this hotel, as far as I remember there is a swimming pool on top of the roof :) I stayed there part of my work travels! :)
One of my personal favorite mediterranean destinations , fell in love with Malta already on my first visit. So much to see in such a small island and the food , simply a joy.
@@h.746 In the middle of a sea that has been so fiercely contested by the greatest powers of history has left Maltese archipelago rich in content and characteristics like no other island on Earth. I've been going back and forward to Malta for over 40 years and every time I discover more playmakers and plots leaving me with the recognition that I've only barely scratched the surface of a grand story. Visiting for a few days is like a faint breeze skimming over the shallowest of waters which brings no comprehension let alone appreciation, Malta's story is as deep as its surrounding seas.
I’m a huge fan of your channel, one of the best there is! I Spent about 8 hours in Malta back in December. Like your video; that short amount of time does Malta no justice. Some of the kindest wonderful people I’ve ever met. Malta will forever be one of my favorite places to visit. Keep up the great content sir you’re amazing!
Simply the best travel videos available anywhere. Superior camera work, host and locations come together in every episode! Hopefully the new TWA hotel at JFK is coming soon for aviation junkies!
@@DMcXPX It was great! I spent the majority of my time exploring Gozo. I swear I've seen practically everything on that island now. Unfortunately, I didn't spend much time on the big island, Malta. But that's completely fine because it gives me a reason to go back.
@@DMcXPX The States. I'm actually planning to return to Tunisia when the pandemic ends. I may return to Malta afterwards on my way to Egypt. This time I'll probably skip Gozo and fully explore Malta.
Yes it is very weird and super fantastic. I visited that superbly wonderful land since I was 12 years old and it still surprised me. Oh and I'am 50 now.
Looks like Greg scored some great food as well (if he was behind the camera). As always, I look forward to your videos. Was in Hong Kong in April and definitely appreciated your video about that spectacular place.
Thank you for your video. .It looks so good there of the people, the buildings and the food.. You also seem to have great music at end of this video at about 7:45. It sounds like O Mia Bambino Cara from Puccini...Thank you so much!!! I do miss being in Rome, Italy...Having being a former Purser Flight Attendant has helped me to see the world...Thank again....Please fly safe an enjoy great food.....
Great video, but it contains some minor mistakes. - Arabic occupation lasted from 870 till 1090/91. Hence it was not a period of 800 years. (To be fair we previously were very close to our North African neighbours though. Noting Carthaginian rule for example). - The famous Crystal Palace, or as we refer to it 'Is-Serkin', is not located in Mdina, but exactly outside of the inland city. It is located at Rabat. Thanks again for the video. Cheers. :)
I LOVE all your guides that you post and have watched all of them. I was wondering if there was a reason you decided to veer away from the usual format you use for this video?
during summer in Malta, one can live the nightlife up to 6am without any problems, and sleep the days away..... swimming bays are plentiful, and people are very friendly... of course, there are always bad eggs in every basket, but in the greatest majority, we are great.
I know that there's a country called Malta but I didn't know it's this gorgeous! However, one question is left unanswered - do you tip in Malta? 🤣 peace! 😎
It looks like amalgamation of Grenada city and Barcelona city center of Spain. Maltese meals are as expensive as Milanese Italian restaurant prices, Barcelona high class restaurant prices, Swedish restaurant prices, due to that reason, I was always hungry and lenient on all you can eat breakfast at 4 star hotels in Malta those I stayed. Meat meals commence from 35 euros to 50 euros, pizzas commence from 35 euros to 60 euros per person in Malta restaurants because of its island status, wines are also very expensive unlike Portugal and Spain.
Just came back from six days/five nights trip to Malta. The cruise around Malta and Comino from Sliema was fascinating (booked at the hotel). Tried the powerboat for a short, thrilling experience (€15, sold by staff on the cruise, it's worth it). Valetta's gate is grand! Medina was THE huge disappointment. I didn't experience the 'silence' nor feel the history it's supposed to offer. I think it's due to the fact that there are many residents living within those walls and this means there are many cars (parked cars as well as incoming and outgoing). Hence, I felt I am trespassing and more conscious to give respect to the residents instead of the historic city. Lots of cafés/restaurants. Best time to visit is probably either at dawn or twilight. Air Malta does not offer complimentary drink or snack, everything is paid for. Better buy something before boarding. Also, it's system is not 'in sync' with their website, so if you purchase a seat online or make any amendments, make sure you bring a printed copy of the email confirmation and receipt (or have it ready in your inbox). This is going to be useful in your return, too. Much better than trying to explain to the staff the inconsistency. Eticket- confirmation goes to a third party where you need to register before you can have access. Not sure with other hotels, but the 4 star hotel we stayed in (Hotel Cavalieri) didn't offer any complimentary drinks upon arrival. Also, only shampoo, shower gel and bar soap were provided. No hair conditioner. €2 for a 500ml bottle of water. So better buy water outside before checking in the hotel. A pool towel requires €10 deposit, which is not a problem as it is refunded in the end. Overall, do visit Malta. The food and people are great.
Is this a mistake? The video is shorter than usual, like there isn't the information segments about transport and average prices. Is this a new style for Attaché-videos?
Well... after watching you video about Copenhagen i was expecting to see usefull information about Malta but... you didnt not tell anything about public transport, tranfer options from/to airport, prices....
A Asante seems like he’s based out of the UK so maybe its expensive. He’s only done one single city in africa, one city in the middle east, etc. He still has a lot of places to visit lol
really not finding the new style as uselfull as your videos used to be. no tourist info. no flight info. no general costings. not very helpful for someone wanting to go there. its more like a history channel now! the old style videos were a million times better
Damnit, you're draining my bank account. All these travel guides are sparking my wanderlust!
Having lived in Malta for 5 years, I can say that it is a beautiful country in some parts, and a deeply troubled in other. It’s definitely worth a trip or even a short expatriate year though. Particularly when you’re young! ❤️
Just out of curiosity, how is it troubled?
Yes. How is it troubled? Please let us know!
Yeah , how is it troubled?
Deeply troubled lol..
I grow to love this channel more and more after every viewing. It somewhat fills the hole left with the loss of “No Reservations” and “Parts Unknown.”
Your intro to this, about the history of the people of Malta was wonderful. This is the reason I travel. I want to see the places where people made history. I want to have appreciation for those who came before us and for cultures different from mine.
Wonderful video.
Thanks for doing my country justice. Great video. 🇲🇹
Andrew Cutajar I’m guessing a lot of Maltese have cutajar as their last name by ur name
Great video!! As always!!
But where's the cheapest, fastest, best
Pint of beer will cost, cup of coffee will cost... Love that Intel. Especially to and from airport routings and getting around the city.
I agree- what’s here is great, but there is a lot missing. Is it Malta Part 1?
A pint from a supermarket will cost around 1Euro, or approximately $1.20... of course, from bars it will cost around $3.50.. coffee is very cheap (from the same bar above, it would cost around 50cents.

It's Malta that has performed so well in this episode. Awesome place, thanks to Attache.
Amazing. I'm heading to Malta in September. Perfect timing.

Cant miss an Attache video! Welcome back, Alex.
Thanks Sahil!
I legit get so excited about your guides to cities I've never even heard of. Now all I wanna do is book a flight here.
Easily my favorite European destination for a short vacation.
So beautiful! Always love your videos
Great guide Malta is amazing

Remember seeing horses in the sea there. Glad you captured that!
Yeah I thought I was hallucinating at first!
Malta is a beautiful place in Europe. I wish I could go and experience there. 😉👍
It's stunning, really beautiful.
Major Bourdain vibes. Keep it up my dude!
Great job on securing the sponsorship and an even better job on the content of this video! 😁👌

Beautiful!!!!!!
Wow just wow! I’ve been watching your videos since you did your guide in San Francisco and enjoyed every video since. Keep up the great work!
Nice! That hotel looks epic.
A breathtaking guide as always! I'm sure that tourism was hurt a little when the Azure Window collapsed, so this is really wonderful timing!
Malta is THE best country in Southern Europe. (IMO) Always overloooked and underrated
Love your show!!! I’m originally from the Bay Area as well and now lives in the east coast. When are you featuring DC?
Oh yeah the pastizzi! Crystal Palace is a great spot
So, so good.

A compelling travelogue.
I’m going to Malta!!!

He tends to do that with places he’s visiting for the first time. I thinking he saves the rundowns for places he’s very familiar with.
fantastic!!! those streets beautiful feel!!!
I have been to Malta last year!

Yeah right try crossing Malta in 30 mins 😁
Last I was there it was more like 1 hour, with my uncle driving.
Looks great, thank you!
Amazing content like usual
Thank you guys
Good video. Nothing else to say.
How so you not have your own show on tv? All your vids are amazing
Great guide! Thank you!

You should also visit Yerevan, Armenia.
Very informative, thanks
Amazing video/tour going in February of this year 2020 staying at db San Antonio

Darn, how long does it take you to write the script for a 8 mins video?.. it’s amazing.
5:51 can we talk about this thumb for a sec
It's double-jointed Scott. It has a mind of its own.
Looking very nice....
one day i will travel to this inspire country or island country ...
Great video.

Don't forget to visit Anomaly & Papanomaly Central for a good meatbals and potetas :)
Do you write books? If not, you should.
Does anyone know why there are 18th and 19th century soldiers walking around in the streets. Not able to find answer online
Is this a mistake? The video is shorter than usual, like there isn't the information segments about transport and average prices. Is this a new style for Attaché-videos?
Warsaw, Poland is awesome
Any chance of South America...maybe Rio?
All these cities but its weird you have yet to do the most traveled city in the world (Bangkok). What's up with that?
Well... after watching you video about Copenhagen i was expecting to see usefull information about Malta but... you didnt not tell anything about public transport, tranfer options from/to airport, prices....

Certain destinations don't fit in to our usual structure - this was one of them!

Please publish more often my friend like everyday perhaps? 😅😂
I have been to that pastizzi shop and they are around 40cents each not 3 for 1euro
why soo short video? :(
Ayyyyy MAR GHAND IS SERKIN
You still haven't gone to a South American city.
A Asante seems like he’s based out of the UK so maybe its expensive. He’s only done one single city in africa, one city in the middle east, etc. He still has a lot of places to visit lol
Keep sharing his vids and maybe when he gets more views and subscribers he will go. I’ll guess his first S.A city will be Rio or Buenos Aires?
You are in malta I live in malta okay bro I live in malta :)
Only here to visit anomaly & papanomaly central
Beautiful island but you missed so much out! Did you run out of film or money?
What would you say he missed?
When are you gonna hit sin city!?
It's a good question. Eventually!

I guess they don’t have a McDonald’s there... which is great !
They have 4 or 5 McDonalds actually. The one at the airport was the only drive through on the island when i lived there
They do but this unique island needed a unique story structure.
There are alot of Mc Donalds actually. All fast food chains are there, even Starbucks.
two years is hard?? ever heard of Yemen?
