Traffic Information

When you reserve your car hire in St Julians, please remember that Malta is a left-hand drive country, the same as the UK but unlike most of Europe. Unusually, there are no motorways in the whole country, all the main routes are dual carriageways and you will encounter frequent roundabouts.

Triq Mikiel-Anton Vassali is the main route into St Julians from Malta International Airport, and it runs around the outside of the region. Triq San Gorg bisects the city centre from north to south, while Triq Il-Kbira will take you along the coast through Spinola Bay and down to St Julians Bay.

Many of the B-roads can be narrow and can become congested easily. Signage isn%u2019t always good, and the local drivers tend to be impatient, so it might be worth including Sat Nav with your rental vehicle if you are unaccustomed to the area. In addition, please remember that you are only allowed to park in bays marked in white.

St Julians Long History

Although St Julians has been populated since Medieval times, these days it is mainly known for its thriving tourism and vibrant nightlife. Much of this is centred around the district of Paceville, one of the four informal districts that make up St Julians, along with Ta Giorni, Tal-Ghoqod and St Andrews. Most of the locals are bilingual and speak fluent English.

Sightseeing Destinations

St Julians is an excellent place to relax and enjoy the waterfront restaurants and bars, but there are a number of interesting sights around the area which can easily be explored in your rental vehicle. The first of these is Spinola Palace, a beautiful Baroque building dating back to the 17th Century and featuring a large sculpted stone clock. The front gardens are accessible to the public, and there are two restaurants on site, based in the old boathouses.
