These two form part of the 'Three Cities' on the east coast of Malta. 

All of them look over the capital city of Valletta.

Malta has no shops, or creative industry, it's all local restaurants and cafes. Rubbish strewn streets, places seem very dated and derelict. Heritage is under used its all just churches and most of these are shut or paid to enter. Wouldn't go again.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Senglea itself has a few lovely waterside restaurants that are very popular with the locals. Enchante in particular. Walk over to Birgu, where there are many historic attractions, places to visit. ferry to Valletta 10 min across the Grand Harbour.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Local people are very friendly and helpful. August had the run up to the Vittoriosa festival happening and it was great to see the local people and the cutler all gathering together at night, enjoying bands, singers and the fireworks etc
