Things to Do in Sliema

You’ll instantly be in tune with Malta’s cosmopolitan flair on the Tigne Peninsula, home to upscale beach clubs, five-star dining and Malta’s largest shopping mall, plus the ferry terminal to Valletta. Malta’s capital contrasts Sliema in the best way: Filled with history and mythology, this is where you get your fix of temples, forts and palazzos. Can’t get enough? The “Eternal City” is just an hour and a half flight north, and our Rome hotels are sure to please.

If you’re wondering where the party’s at, hotels in Sliema’s Paceville neighbourhood are near all the action. Shop for luxury brands, snack on ratatouille and pastizzi (ricotta-filled pastries), then get your party on near Paceville Piazza. For a quieter night, practice your saunter along Sliema Promenade (hint: A glass of cassar de Malte traditional sparkling wine certainly won’t hurt your skills).

Getting To & Around Sliema

From Malta International Airport (MLA), just hop on Express Bus X2 to travel the 10 km north to your Sliema accommodation. Malta’s bus and ferry routes are extensive, and taxi service is cheap and convenient, so getting around town and even throughout the islands is easy. Want your own set of wheels? Book one of Wotif’s sweet car hire deals, and all you have to do is head to the rental counter in the airport’s Welcome Hall.

If you’re at your computer dreaming of sea breezes, boat rides and unforgettable sights, it’s time to check out Wotif’s Sliema hotels. You’ll soon be sipping sparkling wine under the warm Mediterranean sun—and a warm welcome from the locals.
