Hi Rachal, Sliema is a very busy town. Being at the centre of the island and host of lots of offices and shops, no wonder it is too hectic. So unless you love the city environment, Sliema will not be the town to live in. Saying this however, most ... Read More

Marietta

Hi carolinedoyle, I think you should really come for a holiday stay between 10 to 15 days and it will help you decide better. Am sure that you will like Malta, however you need to consider everything before you make such a move. If you would like ... Read More

Hello, We are originally from Canada but have just moved to Sliema a week ago after living in London for 6 years. My husband is working in St Julian's and I am on Maternity leave. I know from reading there was a local meet up for °µÍø½ûÇø moms at ...

Hi Denise, If I am not mistaken, I think that place closed, but not sure so check their website. However your best bet to meet people with young children is the garden with swings in it there is on the Sliema front just off Tower Road. There you ... Read More
