Car Hire in Gzira - Mini guide to Gzira
The island of Malta is comfortably nestled in a luminous pocket of the Mediterranean Sea. This is a country steeped in several thousand years of tradition and is abundantly rich in culture, history, and timeless architecture. This could be an ideal vacation getaway for anyone looking to try something out of the ordinary.
Gzira is a very scenic seaside town on the north eastern section of the island. The deep roots of its people can be felt in every stitch, brick, and tasty ingredient that makes Maltese cuisine so delectable. Gzira is definitely a place to relax and be forgotten by the rest of the world. There is so much, and also so little to do at the same time. A first class marina houses many spectacular yachts. The Promenade is a stone covered walk-way that stretches all along the sea front end of Gzira. Local shops and eateries add an urban flair that contrasts with the aged buildings and roads.
The two most well-known attractions are not in the city itself, but rather can be viewed from right on the strand. Gzira is only a hop, skip, and a quick bridge stroll away from Manoel Island, which can also be reached by car hire. Once used as a quarantine hospital for ill sailors by the Knights of Malta (and later a fort of over 500 soldiers), it now plays host to the Royal Malta Yacht Club. Much restoration has begun on some of the crumbling sections of ancient buildings in order to preserve the island’s history.
The other spectacular view is the walled city of Valletta, which also happens to be the capital of Malta. A visitor in 1830 who beheld the expansive and magnificent buildings described Valletta as “a city of palaces built by gentlemen for gentlemen.” The walls are lit up at night, making it a truly magical experience.
