Wi-Fi waterside, if you trust your laptop so near!
There are Wi-Fi hot spots across Malta now, but not all are conducive to business meetings or quiet working. You can work in most hotel lobbies, for instance – but most expect you to buy a voucher. The list below includes locations I have used in the past to access wireless internet for free. We’ll keep it updated. Please include any others you are aware of in the comments section below and feel free to add info on coffees, snacks and other facilities that go with the Wi-Fi!
All McDonald’s across the islands
St Julians
Cafe Juliani – lobby of Hotel Juliani (just buy a cappuccino)
Bianco’s – cafe, Spinola Bay

Valletta – Burger King (requires login, ask at the counter)
Valletta – Cafe’ Jubilee (requires login, ask at the counter)
Luqa – McDonald’s by the airport
Thanks Steve, MaltaGirl, great to see the list expanded.
There’s also Melita Coffee in Balzan and Misto in Sliema.
Thanks Charlotte! More for our list!
What about Mc Donalds In Gozo???!!!!
Sitting in the gardens of Ballutta bay near Exiles. Go has put up free wifi access for the public – Well done Sliema local council!
(Now get your act together and fix the roads and garbage colection…)
Thanks Elaine and Joakim, we’ll keep updating the post!
Meet N Eat near just outside University old gate has good free wireless(also great chicken ftiras).
St. James hospital in Sliema. In the lobby. Few restaurants in Marsascala too
Le Bon Vivant restaurant in Marsascala
Just yesterday I spotted a “Wi-Fi (filtered)” sign in B’Kara. I believe the gate leads to the Railway Track Garden.
Thanks so much for the addition to our list. We’ll up date it. With luck, most of Malta’s public gardens will be Wi-Fi enabled before too long!
Anybody know of hotspots in Zubbeg (one on Malta, not Gozo). Thanks in anticipation.
Sorry, typing error. That should read Zebbug.
Great information! Thanks.
All McDonalds have free wifi – Luqa, Valletta, Bugibba, St George’ Bay, Spinola, B’kara, Sliema and Victoria Gozo
Paul, Zebbug is the village/town next to mine and I can’t think of any hotspots there. These towns don’t have the kind of cafes that think Wi-Fi a plus or a crowd-puller! They aren’t tourist places, so locals just go to the bar for a beer etc. Not for hot-desking or a relaxed cappuccino while they wi-fi surf! Stick to making a trip to Sliema, St Julian’s, Valletta etc for wi-fi.
