There are shops that provide you necessities nearby, and a park and lovely outlook to a bay. It is a short walk to the ferry (about 10-15 minutes) to Valleta, but this was a little harder with two small children than we could manage and rented a car. Thankfully there are lots of car parks (free) a park across the road, and a great science museum that helped us tremendously as well as Wendy's great communication.
