"Gzira" Il- Gzira by steventilly

Il- Gzira Travel Guide: 9 reviews and 13 photos

Gzira is the next town/city/community along from Sliema. Along here all of the comminities run into one and it's difficult to spot where one starts and the other ends.
Our hotel was actually in Gzira, depsite being advertised as being in Sleima. No problem though, at the Sleima end Gzira is indistinguishable, but further around, on the way to Ta' Xbiex, it becomes a little more run-down and not so touristy. Still no bad thing though, it's a bit quieter on an evening than being further up into Sleima (still only 5 minutes walk away) and you still get the great views across the habour.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Close To Sleima and All It's Facilities, Quiet
Cons:Is A Little Shabby The Further You Get From Sleima
