Malta’s best-known seafront town: a promenade from Tigné to Balluta, cafés, shops and the ferry to Valletta across Marsamxett Harbour. Homes run from period townhouses on the side streets to modern seafront apartments and penthouses with harbour or open-sea views.
Townhouses are terraced houses on two or three floors, often with a back yard or roof terrace and no common parts. Older ones may be in an Urban Conservation Area, where restoration incentives can apply.
