St Julian's has a mix of flat waterfront areas and steep, narrow streets that can be challenging. The Spinola Bay promenade is relatively flat and manageable. Some older parts of town and historic sites around Malta have uneven terrain. Valletta in particular has significant steps and inclines that can be difficult to navigate.
St Julian's and Malta in general are considered very safe destinations. The island has low crime rates and a welcoming attitude toward international visitors. The Paceville nightlife area can get rowdy on weekends, so standard precautions apply at night. Overall, Malta is one of Europe's safest travel destinations.
St Julian's has something for everyone. Stroll around the picturesque Spinola Bay, explore the upscale Portomaso Marina, and soak up the lively atmosphere of Paceville, the island's main entertainment and nightlife hub. The historic Balluta Buildings and Balluta Bay are also worth a visit. Valletta, Malta's UNESCO-listed capital, is just a short drive away.
Malta uses the euro (EUR). Cards are widely accepted in St Julian's hotels, restaurants, and shops. Cash is handy for smaller vendors, buses, and markets. ATMs are plentiful throughout the town and in nearby Sliema and Valletta.
Tipping is not obligatory in Malta but is appreciated for good service. In restaurants, leaving 10 percent is a common and well-received gesture. For taxis, rounding up the fare is standard. Hotel staff and tour drivers are also commonly tipped a small amount as a thank-you for attentive service.
Malta has two official languages: Maltese and English. English is spoken fluently by the vast majority of the population, making Malta one of the most accessible destinations in the Mediterranean for English-speaking visitors. You'll have no difficulty communicating anywhere on the island.
Must-try dishes include pastizzi (flaky pastry filled with ricotta or mushy peas), rabbit stew (fenkata), bragioli (beef olives), and fresh lampuki fish. Hobz biz-zejt, bread rubbed with tomatoes and olive oil, is a beloved local snack. Kinnie, a bittersweet local soft drink made from bitter oranges, is a uniquely Maltese experience.
The best time to visit is from April to June or September to October, when the weather is warm and the sea is inviting without the intense summer heat. July and August are very hot and extremely busy. Winter is mild and quiet, ideal for sightseeing without crowds, though some beach facilities close.
So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.
