Living in Malta can vary according to the town or city that they live in, all with their own experiences. However, living in the capital city of Valletta is a unique experience of its own.
Valletta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, possessing great cultural significance to the islands, and brimming with a variety of things to do and see. Thousands of local residents and tourists alike are charmed by the city’s surprises around every corner, and city residents benefit from a number of cool features that make the experience stand out from other localities.
Living in Valletta also comes with a unique set of properties, offering many features that you cannot find anywhere else on the island. Each area also has its own particular set of characteristics concerning property types.
For example, the lower parts of the city are characterised by small Palazzos and Townhouses – but the city also includes other property types such as Houses of Character and Apartments. These can be sold in a variety of finishings, from fully finished to requiring restoration.
