Picking up in St Julian's

St Julian's — around Spinola Bay, Paceville and the big seafront hotels — is Malta's main nightlife and hotel district. Many rental companies deliver to hotels here, which is handy if you only want a car for part of your stay.

Parking and traffic

Streets around Paceville and the bay are narrow and busy, and on-street parking is hard to find at night. Most larger hotels have their own car parks — check whether yours charges for it. Traffic between St Julian's and Sliema can be slow at rush hour.

Don't drink and drive

If you're heading out in Paceville, leave the car at the hotel: Malta's drink-driving limits are strict and enforced, and taxis and ride-hailing apps are easy to find.
