Anyone been to Malta? Was thinking of going there for 5 days

Do they really have two cities called Rabat?

Make sure you are there for August the fithteenth evening. The festival of the Assumption of Our Lady is celebrated in style in several towns / villages. Parade of statues through the streets and huge firework displays. A celebration not to be missed. Personal favourite is Mosta but several of the others are also very good. http://www.visitmalta.com/en/search-events?pg=1&from=15-08-2016&to=15-08-2016&type=112

oh nice, I'll be there from the 12th to the 16th so I'll make sure not to miss it!

Bump

Another question: I was thinking of spending 2-3 days (of my total 5) on Gozo and Comino because it seems more comfy than the main land. Is this a good idea or should I just stick to Malta?

Gozo is interesting, similar to Malta with pre-historic ruins and catholic churches but overall quiter. The inland sea is worth a look, but swimming through the tunnel while possible was one of my less good ideas.

i was there 2 months ago, bored the fuck out of me to be honest. super touristy everywhere you go (yes, even on gozo) - every second house is owned by some brit/yank who's not around for 80% of the year, every house seems to have a plaque saying "MANCHESTER UNITED FAN HOUSE" or something ridiculous like that, or "GOD BLESS AMERICA", you know the sort. anyway. the nature is nice though, but get away from the people. just walking around gozo was quite nice. but the food is fucking awful except for one restaurant in Rabat. i'd NOT go again. just don't think you'll have any sort of adventure or anything. this is 100% resort town tourism shit, and don't let anyone tell you it's not like that on gozo, that's what I fell for. LOL.

if you think the food is bad, you must have gone to some shitty restaurants. quick review on trip advisor and you'll find plenty of good restaurants

Im in Malta now. Pretty shit. Everyone is miserable. All the men over 50 looks like Vito fom The Sopranos. Its plenty of niggers too. 50% of the cars are dented since they drive like tards and all the city streets only allow for 1 car at the time. Its exhaustingly hot. Fuck this place!

hmm that doesn't sound too interesting. To the second guy: where exactly did you go? Was the whole island like that or just Valetta or the surrounding areas?

Is Cyprus a better alternative perhaps?
