Why go
The waterfront gives you a different view of Malta's capital: Valletta becomes a skyline across Marsamxett Harbour instead of a city around you. Walking the Sliema Front also brings the rocky coast into the day. It suits time spent outdoors between more enclosed visits to churches, museums or fortified streets.
What to look for
- Valletta stands across Marsamxett Harbour from the Sliema peninsula.
- The Sliema Front promenade follows a developed coastal town.
- Rocky beaches distinguish this shoreline from Malta’s sandy bays.
Useful to know
- Use the promenade as the main visit rather than looking for a single central attraction.
- Plan a rocky-shore outing differently from a day on a sandy beach.
- Continue along the coast towards St Julian’s for a longer waterfront combination.
