Tips for visiting Birkirkara

Like the rest of Malta, Birkirkara cars drive on the left and the local currency is the Euro (EUR), so if Birkirkara is a stop on your European tour you’ll need to get some Euro (€).

The town is highly dense in places with residential houses and commercial buildings, but it’s also packed with leafy suburban areas (like for example The Old Railway Station which is situated in a public garden), to relax in peacefully. Tourists and locals alike mix at pubs, cafes and well-known landmarks, with more than enough to keep everyone entertained.

Birkirkara is full of history landmarks, which include a museum, several churches, an aqueduct and an old railway station.

If you’re looking for guidance or inspiration for booking self-serviced apartments for your trip to Malta, consider first what parts of the island you need to see and want to explore. Then choose your accommodation based on proximity and affordability in relation to your desired location, whether you establish a base exactly where you need to be or within a few local transport hops, is entirely up to you.

Getting around Birkirkara

Consider taking cabs, pre-booked taxi or Bolt home after a night out. Public Transport should be suitable to bring you around the island during the day.

Car: If you’re planning on driving around Malta there are a few things you need to remember: all cars drive on the left, public transport is often faster depending on where you want to go.

Taxi: There will be a number of taxi companies locally to choose from and of course, Bolt is a popular choice for many.

Bus: Hop on a big bus to get you where you need to go; they’re a quick, convenient and cheap way to travel around the island, with plenty of sightseeing opportunities along the way.
