Sliema

Sliema, Malta

If you like a little sightseeing in your holiday, combined with sports and good food, Sliema fits the bill. This busy - and still growing - town focuses on The Strand, a broad promenade with views of Valletta 5km away. Sliema's shops are among the best on the island - look for Maltese lace, fine silverware, pottery, and woolens. When night falls Sliema's bars and restaurants are relaxed and mellow in mood, with a cosmopolitan feel. This is a place to see and be seen. Watching the world go by whilst enjoying an evening meal, or taking in the views over the floodlit bastions of Valletta are stylish ways to wind down and prepare for a night in one of Sliema's many bars and clubs.
