Valletta Shopping
Valletta's shopping forte is its many independent family-owned shops. Some of these specialise in gold and silver filigree jewellery, making pieces on the premises. The Silversmith's Shop, 218 Republic Street, is a good example where you can watch the proprietor at work. Leather items, particularly Italian-styled shoes are also good value, and are on sale throughout Valletta. At the Waterfront are island craft shops (pottery and glass) and the Forni Shopping Complex, home to a host of designer names.
Most shops open at 0900, close for a siesta at 1300, and reopen from 1600 to 1900. Not all shops re-open Saturday afternoon and Sunday is a day of rest.
