Sliema's best sights are outdoors and easy to enjoy with a dog: the seafront walk to St Julian's, the Tigné Point views and the short ferry across to Valletta's harbour. Indoor museums and churches generally do not allow pets, so plan around terraces, promenades and the open deck.
Sliema to St Julian's
The signature Sliema experience is the kilometres-long coastal promenade walk that curves from Tigné Point past the Exiles foreshore all the way to the bays of St Julian's. It is flat, scenic and entirely dog-friendly on a leash.
💡 Do it at sunset for the cooler air and the Valletta skyline glowing across the water
Across Marsamxett Harbour
Malta's UNESCO-listed capital is a 10-minute ferry hop from Sliema, and leashed dogs are generally welcome on the open-deck crossing. Once there you can wander Valletta's honey-stone streets, the Upper Barrakka Gardens viewpoints and waterfront, all dog-friendly outdoors.
💡 Go early or late to avoid the midday heat on Valletta's stone streets and steep steps
Tigné Point
This restored harbour-front peninsula combines open pedestrian plazas, historic Fort Tigné, and some of the best views back across the water to Valletta's bastions. Reached by the Tigné pedestrian bridge, it is a calm, traffic-free spot to stroll with a dog.
💡 Combine the walk with a dog-friendly café terrace and the photogenic harbour views
