St. Julian's boasts several key attractions, including the magnificent 17th-century Spinola Palace, a Maltese Baroque masterpiece. The charming 16th-century parish church dedicated to St. Julian is also worth a visit. Visitors can also enjoy the beautiful coastline, featuring a variety of picturesque beaches and coves.

Don't forget that the best places to stay in St. Julian's will be busy throughout the year (Malta attracts visitors in winter for its mild climate). So if you want to guarantee a room in one of our recommended properties, get organised and book well ahead.
