Handpicked places to stay in Victoria Gozo by budget

Staying in the Heart of the Island

Victoria (Rabat) is Gozo’s little capital and, in many ways, the island’s everyday heart. It’s where locals shop, meet for coffee and catch the bus out to the villages and beaches, with the Citadel watching over it all, and it’s where you’ll find some of the most practical places to stay in Victoria Gozo.

You won’t get sea views from your balcony here, but you do get everything close by: supermarkets, pharmacies, cafés, churches and the main bus hub. If you like the idea of using Gozo’s buses or don’t want to be tied to just one bay, Victoria makes a very practical base.
