Situated in the popular seaside residential town of Sliema,
The Metropole Hotel, Malta is just 100 metres away from its
famous seaside promenade, which extends for quite a few miles
from St. Julians where the night life is lively, to Sliema
harbour where the shopping is terrific.
All along there are several cafes, bars and restaurants as
well as excellent swimming clubs.
Going for a nice walk along the Sliema promenade is a must.
The wide passage way makes it a pleasure to stroll and enjoy
the magnificent views of the sea.
Further down the promenade, ferries can be found lined along
the Sliema front. A ferry trip is a must do activity if you
visit Malta during the Summer months. These are available
by day or by night.
Horse drawn carriages are another attraction which can be
found. The owners/cab drivers will guide you through the best
areas giving you a good narration.
In Sliema there are 5 Parish Churches. Each Parish Church
celebrates its Patron Saint feast in a dedicated weekend in
the Summertime. They are enjoyable evenings where you can
see the fireworks display on Saturday and the procession on
Sunday. They are also a great opportunity to sample some Maltese
food. All churches would be duly decorated for the feast.
The sea is an integral part of our history. It still
colours any visit to the Islands. It is sensuous in
summer and restless in winter, and always great to be by,
in or on.
