From the 4th to the 7th September, the PPTour will stop in St. Julian’s, one of the most well-known tourist centres along the east coast of Malta. Located only a few kilometres north of the capital La Valletta, the seaside town of St. Julian’s is full of exciting proposals that range from cultural and sporting activities to a full entertainment program.
Night life
The district Paceville at St. Julian’s never stops to party! This bustling suburb is filled with shops, restaurants, piano bars and clubs where you can enjoy music of all kinds and – why not – dance until dawn.
Sea
Many of the most beautiful beaches of Malta are in the north of the island, but it is worth venturing with public transportation or a rental car to reach them. If you want to experience the wonderful Maltese sea you can also rent a small boat from one of the many “rentals” at the port of the capital.
