Gzira

Tucked between Msida and Sliema along Malta’s busy northeastern coast, Gżira is a lively coastal town whose name literally means “island,” a nod to nearby Manoel Island sitting just offshore in Marsamxett Harbour. Once a modest working-class suburb of Sliema, the town has evolved into a multicultural hub

lined with cafés, restaurants, offices, and waterfront promenades. From its seafront gardens, visitors are treated to spectacular views of Valletta’s bastioned skyline glowing across the harbour at night. Today, Gżira blends everyday local life with a cosmopolitan edge.
