Gżira is a coastal town within Malta’s central region, situated between Sliema and Msida. Historically a modest residential area, Gżira developed rapidly during the 20th century thanks to its strategic location along the Marsamxett Harbour. Today it is known for its busy seafront promenade, modern apartment blocks, and its proximity to Manoel Island. Its central position makes it one of the most convenient and well-connected urban zones in Malta, popular with professionals, students, and expats alike.

Getting around – Public transport is frequent and reliable, with numerous bus routes passing through Gżira. Walking and cycling are also convenient due to the flat shoreline roads. A car is useful but not essential thanks to its central location and strong transport links.
