Central Malta

Living in San Gwann, Malta

Central, practical, and underrated

San Gwann is a practical central Malta town that often gets overlooked in favour of its more glamorous neighbours. It sits between St Julian's, Birkirkara, and Swieqi, offering easy access to all three at lower prices. The area has a mix of residential apartments and some light industrial/commercial zones. It is a sensible choice for those working in central or northern Malta who don't want to pay Sliema or Swieqi prices.
