St. Julian's & Spinola Bay
San Ġiljan
Malta's dining and nightlife centre, home to the Spinola Bay fishing boats, the LOVE sculpture and the Paceville bar strip.
St Julian's sits right next to Sliema. Colourful luzzu fishing boats are moored in the bay, and the LOVE letter sculpture on the waterfront (which reads “LOVE” when reflected in the water) is a popular photo spot. Along Spinola Bay and Balluta Bay you'll find many restaurants, and the neo-Gothic Carmelite church at Balluta Bay is also photogenic. Nearby, Paceville is the country's most concentrated district of nightclubs and bars, still lively late at night. St George's Bay has a small beach. You can walk from Sliema along the seafront promenade in about 20–30 minutes, and there are many bus routes.
