Sliema & Tigné Point
Tas-Sliema
A modern waterfront town across the harbour from Valletta, with a seafront promenade, shopping and boat piers, and views across to Valletta.
Sliema is Malta's busiest modern urban area. Its seafront promenade runs for several kilometres, and rock platforms on the shore serve as summer swimming spots for locals. Around Tigné Point you'll find shopping centres and cafés, with views across Marsamxett Harbour to Valletta's city-wall skyline. The Strand boat landing is the main departure point for island cruises, trips to Comino and the Blue Lagoon, and harbour tours of the Three Cities, and there is also a ferry to Valletta (about 10 minutes). There are plenty of hotels, making it many visitors' first choice for accommodation.
