If you are planning your visit to Malta and thinking which area to stay in, this should help you decide if St. Julian’s is what you are after or not. And for those who live in Malta, you can double check if you can cross all these 10 things from your list.

Enjoy kilometers long promenade along the sea

Being it an early morning run or an evening stroll, the St. Julian’s promenade is definitely one of the main attractions of the area. The promenade starts at the Spinola Bay in St. Julian’s stretching through Sliema, Gzira, Ta’Xbiex and beyond. You can also sit on one of the many benches and just enjoy the beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea for hours.

Lock your love at the Love Monument

The Love Sign is situated in Spinola Bay in St. Julian’s and was created by Maltese artist Richard England. As you can see the letters are inverted and one should read the word ‘love’ when reflected in the waters of Spinola Bay. If you are here with your loved one, this is the ideal place to ‘lock your love’.

Have a drink at Level 22 in the Portomaso Tower

The Portomaso Business Tower is at the moment the tallest building in Malta with its height of 97 metres and 23 floors. It’s definitely the most noticeable landmark of St. Julian’s. The Tower opened in 2001 and offers a mix of commercial office space. Once you are at the area, don’t forget to have a drink at the Level 22. It’s the “high-end of Pacevile” the local party area, but what I like the most are the amazing views of Malta at night! Well at the end of the day, you are on the 22nd floor!

Discover The Newly Open Spinola Palace’s Private Garden

This little garden that recently reopened its doors (July 2019) has quickly become my favourite place in the area. The breath of fresh air that was so needed! Full of greenery and blooming flowers even during the hottest summer months!

Sunbath at St George’s Bay

If you are exhausted after a day of shopping at Bay Street or all night partying in Paceville, you can refresh yourself at the urban beach at St George’s Bay. This man-made beach is a popular place for tourists as well as locals with a large number of bars and restaurants close by. It is also a Blue Flag beach which means that the beach met high criteria regarding water quality, safety, environmental education, provision of services and general environmental management criteria.

Enjoy a lovely meal at Spinola Bay

This picturesque bay is one of the most beautiful ones on the island. Spinola Bay is famous for its LOVE monument, colourful fishing boats, surrounding promenade and the large number of restaurants in the area. I like to sit down on a bench or near the water, but you can also admire the bay from one of the restaurants, while enjoying a nice Mediterranean lunch. Definitely a must!

Dance the night away in Paceville

The list wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the island’s party mecca known as Paceville. And what can you find in Paceville? Great number of bars, restaurants, gentlemen’s clubs, cafes, Bay Street shopping centre, Eden cinema & bowling, and other forms of entertainment such as roof top (party) pools, laser area and so much more.
