Msida, Malta
Msida is home to the University of Malta campus and a large student and academic population. The marina on Msida Creek is a highlight — rows of yachts create a surprisingly picturesque scene for what is otherwise a busy, functional town. Rents are among the more affordable of the harbour area towns, making it popular with students, junior professionals, and those who want harbour access without Sliema prices.
