Sliema church

In Sliema there are 5 parish churches. Each parish church celebrates its Patron Saint feast in a dedicated weekend in the Summer time,so you should be lucky enough to manage to attend one of these feast.

Should be an enjoyable evening,where you can see the fireworks display on Saturday and the procession on Sunday . Also you can taste some local maltese food.

Do visit one of the churches too. They are very rich and will be duly decorated for the feast

	Walking on Sliema Promenade (Front) Tip Rating:

Walking on the Sliema Promenade (Front as the locals call it) is a custom especially when the summer months are approaching it seems that everyone gets their feet on the front to walk up and down in order to keep fit! It's a very pleasant and nice walk as it is along the seaside and commences from St.Julians and ends in Gzira which is a nice stretch of good continous walking. One drawback is that you meet so many people that its hard to walk at times especially those people who like jogging !

Enjoying A Kinnie, Sliema

Kinnie is the soft drink of choice here – or it should be, don’t buy the Coca-Cola company’s rival Krest – and sitting on the seawall with Valletta behind you is as good a place to drink it as any!
Kinnie is made from “bitter oranges and herbs” to quote the label, but I’d never have guessed it as it doesn’t really taste of oranges. It is quite unique though and very refreshing.

	Need a Lilo?

rocks for sunbathing

As there are no beaches to speak of in Sliema, the locals (and hardy visitors) sunbathe on the rocks below the promenade.

If I were you I would take a lilo or something to cushion the hardness of the rock. There are small ladders that you can climb from some of the rocks into the sea.

Beware there are no lifeguards, so do ask the locals regarding the depth etc of the water.

Be vigilant and aware.

wonderful moment

We walked to the sea front at Sliema when everyone seemed to go mental shouting and beeping horns people got on top of cars and danced, I didn't know what was going on so I asked and England had just won a game in the world cup.
It made me feel proud to be English to see the Maltese people backing England so much.
