Sliema, located on Malta’s northeast coast directly across from Valletta, is a vibrant seaside town known for its lively atmosphere, modern amenities and sweeping Mediterranean views. Once a quiet fishing village, it has evolved into one of Malta’s main commercial and residential hubs, filled with shops, cafés, restaurants and a long coastal promenade popular with walkers, joggers and families. Today, Sliema blends traditional Maltese character—seen in its historic churches and pockets of old townhouses—with contemporary high‑rise apartments and bustling urban life. Its rocky beaches, waterfront paths and easy access to nearby attractions make it a favourite base for visitors seeking both relaxation and convenience.
