Question 1

What is the best area to stay in Gzira?

Accepted Answer

The best area to stay in Gzira is along the promenade, particularly the stretch facing Manoel Island and Sliema.

This area is the heart of Gzira, offering lovely views across the marina and Marsamxett Harbour. It's very walkable, with a continuous path running alongside the water, dotted with benches and small cafes. The main street, Triq ix-Xatt, runs parallel to the promenade and is where you'll find most of the shops, restaurants, and bus stops.

Couples will find this promenade area ideal. It's superb for evening strolls, with plenty of restaurants offering waterfront dining. The easy access to ferries and buses makes exploring Valletta and Sliema straightforward, allowing for relaxing days of sightseeing without the fuss of car hire.
