Sliema
City/town information
Sliema is derived from the word ‘sliem’ meaning peace - this busy area originated as a summer locality to escape the busier sides of the island. It featured stunning townhouses, overlooking the sea. Today, not so many of these homes remain, they made way for apartment blocks which line the much-loved promenade.
Over the years, the town has grown, stretching along the coast, from the entrance of Manoel Island, right up to Balluta Bay in St Julian’s. Between these two points, lie hundreds of cafes, shops, eateries, bars, hotels and residences, strung along and behind the promenade, popular from morning to night with joggers, families with pushchairs or friends catching up while taking a stroll.

A beautiful, clean and well laid out public park. Offering kids play equipment that caters for all ages.
