The idea behind working remotely from a foreign country is to explore it completely. Especially in Malta, you cannot set up your camp in one city and bide your time there for the duration of your digital nomad visa in Malta, as it will be disrespectful to other cities.

Why are we talking about this? 

Because Malta is a stunning island, with picturesque cities, you cannot afford to miss any of them.

Thus, here is a list of the best cities in Malta for digital nomads so you can enjoy the best of Malta. 

Valletta

Valletta is the capital city of Malta, which is common knowledge. But did you know that it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site? You will believe it when you visit Valletta, when you witness the picturesque town. The Grand Harbor is an ancient port that still attracts many tourists. It's the kind of site you only see in movies. Maybe Valletta is the inspiration behind the most beautiful of them all.

As for digital nomads, it is a city where you will find everything you need. From coworking spaces to high-speed internet and comfortable accommodations to networking opportunities, Valletta offers it all. The digital nomad community is quite active in Valletta.

When the tourist inside you stirs, you can take advantage of the diners lining the harbour, look out at the sea, shop at the numerous shopping centres, and relax in the Barrakka gardens, which will mesmerise you. 

Sliema

Sliema is second to none when it comes to beauty and comfort. Valletta might be the capital of Malta, but Sliema is more modern and chic, exuding the charm of an old, charming town while making it easier for digital nomads to spend some quality time here.

Also, if you love being around the sea, Sliema is the option, as it is situated on a peninsula and boasts a beautiful coastline. From shopping to cafes and coworking spaces to boutiques, Sliema offers everything. 

The major advantage of living in Sliema for digital nomads is that the accommodation here is much lower than in Valletta. Living in Sliema will give you peace from the tourist crowds and will be easier on the pocket. Besides, it is only 15 minutes away from Valletta by ferry. So, it is a win-win.

Gozo Island

Gozo Island is a small but significant one in the Maltese archipelago. It is a historic island that tells the stories of the kingdoms that arrived here, ruled, and made it what it is. The ancient historic sites are the ones which set Gozo apart from the other cities in Malta and you will not regret coming here.

The gardens, rock formations, bays, and historic ruins are not the only things to see around here, but it is a place where digital nomads arrive for tranquillity. Even though it is a very small island near Malta (part of Malta only), it is serene, and thus, for those seeking a peaceful place to focus on work, Gozo is the place. There are coworking spaces where you can work during the day and explore Gozo in the evenings.

Mdina 

Want to go back in time? Then go to Mdina. It is called the silent city; you should know it was once Malta's capital. St. Paul's Cathedral is the reason why many people visit this city, as it is said that the Apostle, St. Paul, rested here during his journey.

It only helps us understand how ancient the place is. 

Now the point- why it is called a silent city. That's because there are only limited cars and vehicles are allowed within the city walls. That's the reason numerous organised tours will help explore this ancient city. 

Honestly, Mdina doesn't have many coworking spaces. Of course, there are places you can rent, but the numerous cafes and restaurants are always open. Considering it is a tourist city, there is a crowd, but still, the place boasts of serenity.

Mosta

Mosta is the city for those who want to experience an authentic Maltese lifestyle. It is smaller than other cities in Malta, such as Valletta and Sliema, and less popular among tourists.

However, this is where you can experience what it is to live in Malta. The city is densely populated, with a beautiful Rotunda of Mosta in the centre, visible from every corner of the city. It is quite a beautiful sight.

Digital nomads prefer this city when they are looking for a peaceful city free of hustle and bustle and want to focus on work. The city might be small, but it boasts high-speed internet and cafes where they can work. 

This is an artistic haven, too, as the quiet streets of Mosta exhibit many galleries and workshops, which will cast a spell on you and compel you to step inside.

Final Words

Working on a Malta digital nomad visa can be more than just work. The island is full of scenery and gorgeous cities you would wish to extend your visa. The Maltese government has taken many steps over the years for digital nomads to make work easier. The cities that were discussed above are the first choices when you arrive in Malta, and why not? They top the list. Explore these and decide where you would like to set up your camp.
