We had an outstanding stay in Birgu. It is a smaller town than those in the area and certainly a place you should stay if you want a genuine Maltese experience. The town square was a two minute walk away with restaurants, markets and shops offering everything you could possibly need. The small pedestrian only “street” where the property is located is a big plus. Walking through the maze of similar streets takes you back into a time when life was more simple. The ferry to Valetta is convenient, but I would recommend one of the old authentic boats at the harbor for a better experience. The neighbor Helen was a wonderful co- host and a wealth of information- a true delight. Can’t wait to go back to Malta and Birgu!
