Picking up in Sliema

Sliema is one of the most popular places to stay in Malta, with hotels and apartments all along its seafront. Many rental companies deliver the car to your hotel here, so you can skip the airport desk and only rent for the days you actually want to drive.

Parking in Sliema

Sliema is busy and street parking is hard to find, especially in the evening. If your hotel has parking, check whether it's included or charged. Watch the bay colours: white bays are for everyone, blue and green are often for residents.

A good base for day trips

From Sliema it's an easy drive north to Mellieħa and the Gozo ferry at Ċirkewwa, or west to Golden Bay. For Valletta, the ferry across Marsamxett Harbour is often quicker than driving and parking.
