This is the most beautiful aquarium I have ever visited. It is easy to reach by public transport from Sliema and has beautiful fish of all species to see, especially the sharks that swim around you and pass over your head. Above all, the simulation of a submarine journey is a very realistic experience. Overall, I would give it 10 stars as a reviewer, also for the ease of purchasing tickets online. Congratulations!

The staff were very friendly. I love how bus are always on time, and the routes (Red line and blue line) are great to know the island. The only thing I would like to recommend is to improve the audios. I estimate on average there were audio only in 10% to 15% of the trips. For someone interested in knowing Malta this is desappointing.

Very convenient for those who don't have too much time on their hands, between the north and south itineraries you can get a good idea of the island, and the audio guide is available in many languages. Good service.
