About Wine Wharf

Wine Wharf is a working quay road running along the inner Grand Harbour below Floriana's walls, lined with old warehouses. In World War Z it became the checkpoint where crowds of refugees flood into walled 'Jerusalem'. It's an industrial waterfront rather than a sight, so come to match the shot and move on.

Best time to go

Morning, before the harbour traffic picks up.
