Driving and Parking Tips for Sliema

Sliema is busy, especially around the promenade, shopping streets, and waterfront hotels. A compact or automatic car is often the easiest choice for local driving and parking.

  • Choose a compact car: smaller cars are easier to park and handle in narrow streets.
  • Plan pickup carefully: agree on a clear meeting point near your hotel or apartment.
  • Check parking signs: some streets have resident areas, time limits, or restricted bays.
  • Avoid peak traffic: the Sliema and St Julian’s coastal road can be busy during rush hours and evenings.
  • Drive on the left: Malta follows left-hand traffic, so automatic cars can make driving easier for visitors.
  • Take photos at pickup: record the car condition, wheels, fuel level, and interior before leaving.
