Harbour Malta
University town with marina views
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.

Yes — it's walking distance from the University of Malta and has the most affordable rents of the harbour towns. Many students live here.
1-bedroom apartments typically range from €700–€1,000/month — notably cheaper than nearby Sliema or Gzira.
Msida sits on Msida Creek (a marina inlet) rather than the open sea, but the marina views are attractive. The open sea coastline is a short bus ride away.
