It is touristic, but not too touristic. Birzebbuga is a "real" village with good infrastructure. The public transport is very good: to the airport, to Valetta as well as touristic sites. Some people complain about the Container Harbor, but I don't. Three times Bingo a week is too much, but that ends end of September and the weather in October is still fine and the water is still warm. I really liked it all and I enjoyed it a lot !
