Experience in Valletta, Malta by Gianluca
What is it like to live in Valletta? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?
Valletta is a wonderful city full of unknown places to discover. During the day (until 6 pm) it is surrounded by workers, otherwise, it is such a silence city and you will have hard times in recognising it as a capital.
Full of restaurants and shops, it is a lack of supermarkets which are not present. Anyway, at the entrance of the city, there is the bus station; every single bus running for Malta start there.
What is the student lifestyle like in Valletta?
Valletta is a small city; I will recommend to rent a flat there just in case you have a stage or an interneship; for a student it is maybe better live in Msida or Gzira.
How much does it cost to live in Valletta?
Valletta, as all Malta is really cheap. A 3 months bus ticket for a student costs less than 70 euros. You can go out for dinner in a restaurant for 20 euros and the nightlife into the bars it is really not expensive (beer 30 cl 2 euros).
Is it difficult to find accommodation in Valletta? Is there any advice you can give?
Don't book with an agency. It is really easy to find places for living in Malta. A good flat, with new furniture and a room for your own, will not cost more than 300 euros. In the zone of San Julian prices are a bit different but in any case never more than 320-350 euros month.
What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?
Lampuki and the rabbit which are typical.
Try Legligin restaurant for sure the best restaurant in Malta.
