Reasons You Should Buy Property in Valletta, Malta
Are you thinking of investing in property? If so, then Malta could be the perfect location for you. Located in the south of the Mediterranean, it offers a winning combination of island life, beautiful scenery, a thriving business environment, and of course, good property investment opportunities. As the economy of Malta continues to grow and it cements itself as a hub for international digital innovation, investing in Maltese property for sale becomes a wise decision. Many investors flock to areas such as St Julian’s and Sliema to snap up a property, but Valletta, the country's historic capital city is the coveted destination. So what makes it so enticing and why should you buy property in Valletta? Let us read on to find out…

The Weather is Amazing

First things first, the weather in Malta is generally pretty incredible. Summer starts in May and runs until the rains come in November, the winters are short and mild, and on average, the island enjoys a whopping 3000 hours of sunshine annually. Whilst the summer can get rather hot in July and August, luckily you are surrounded by miles of the best swimming and diving waters in Europe so going for a swim to cool off is always a pleasure. There are not many places in the world, let alone Europe that enjoy such a delightful climate

It is Paradise for Art Lovers

Whether you like painting, or just appreciating, Valletta is truly the centre of the Maltese art scene. In recent times, it has been home to exhibitions by Edward Lear, Miro, Picasso, Passmore, and Caravaggio to name but a few. It also features a myriad of museums with regular exhibitions and there are often craft, cultural, and artistic events taking place in the city. Furthermore, if you fancy your skills as a painter, drawer or photographer, there is no shortage of inspiring vistas to catch your eye.

It is Full of Gastronomical Delights

Depending on what your appetite demands, you can choose from Indian, Arabic, Lebanese, French, Italian, and Maltese. There are fine dining, fast food, takeaway, casual, haute cuisine, fusion, and street food options to chose from and there are even artisan stalls and shops selling the best of local produce. You can purchase all manner of fresh fish, meat, fruit, and vegetables, as well as herbs, spices, honey, and sweets- all organic and produced locally. The number of cafes, bistros, restaurants, and bars that line its streets seem to be never ending and there is always a super-cool, appetite-encouraging new place for you to check out.

It’s a Perfect Place for History Buffs

If you want to feel like you have immersed yourself in history, then buying a property in Valletta is a sure-fire way of achieving it. Not only is Valletta the Baroque jewel of the Mediterranean but it is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. Built by Knights, inhabited by royalty, artists, military legends, politicians, aristocracy, sailors, writers, and the odd vagabond or two, its history is awe-inspiringly diverse. The city is home to architectural gems, historic theatres, vast cathedrals, and majestic palazzos, all just waiting to be explored. Let’s face it, there are not many locations in the world where you can say you live on the same street as the Parliament, or above the bar where Oliver Reed died, or where you can say that your house was once inhabited by a Knight of The Order of St John.
