Boutiques, small corner shops, centuries old shops, new shops, the Embassy Shopping Mall and more. Mostly located on Republic Street, however a variety are situated on side streets. It provides shopping opportunities of a wide-ranging choice. Valletta is easily reached by one direct bus service from most localities and this makes it the ideal hub for all the island.

Choose to live on the stepped streets, choose to live on a harbour property, on the Upper Barrakka – in the end, your choice will make you a Valletta dweller, pretty much like the Knights of St John, so many decades ago. Each part of Valletta has its peculiarities, but wherever your property of choice is located, it is just one short walk away from the heart of Valletta. Upper and lower Valletta have specific characteristics which make them tangibly different. Living on any of the side streets is another thing. Living in the hub of the city is one thing. Respecting the old-fashioned buildings and their outer core which should constantly retain a respectably Valletta-like look, property interiors can be transformed into the most lavish of homes, some being further enhanced with extremely beautiful views of the Grand Harbour waters, Sliema Creek, Tigne Point and beyond. Style is all important for those who decide to relocate to Valletta. Real estate options can be varied – from ancient 16th Century palazzos, to post-World War II apartments, to buildings constructed at the height of the Colonial era not to mention the modern converted luxury properties that come available for sale or for rent from time to time. Built by the Knights of St John, this fortified historic gem which the locals amiably call The City – Il-Belt, provides a wonderful opportunity of living in a baroque atmosphere.
