Discover the Islands

On the island of Malta and north of the capital Valletta, visitors can find the town of St Julian’s – or San Gilijan – famous for its fun-filled daytime activities and a hotspot for nightlife. Though the town is small, with a population of about 8,000, its Paceville area abounds with luxurious hotels, a variety of restaurants and many trendy nightclubs. In addition, the superb summer weather ensures that visitors enjoy long walks on the seafront Promenade. On the last Sunday in August, both local people and tourists enjoy the annual feast of St Julian’s, after whom the town is named. Standing at 98 metres and the tallest building in Malta, the Portomaso Tower dominates the landscape.
