Sliema stands out as Malta's liveliest and most popular tourist destination.

The town boasts charming villas, numerous quaint cafes, cobblestone streets, and, of course, the soothing waves of the Mediterranean Sea, making Sliema a true hub for tourists. Yachts regularly set sail from here, offering cruises around Malta. Those who love the beach will relish the golden sands and crystal-clear waters. Diving enthusiasts are particularly drawn to Sliema, thanks to the transparent coastal waves that provide excellent diving opportunities. Sliema's watchtowers and palaces serve as reminders of its history, when the Ioannite Knights protected the city from pirate raids. Cape Draguta is named after one of these pirates. Much like other Maltese cities, Sliema caters to students, with several English schools where young people come to enhance their language skills. This focus on education means there are many budget-friendly accommodation options, as well as hostels and student residences.
