This is where you'll be landing :) A lot of Maltese people actually go to the airport just for a drink or a meal whenever the weather isn't that great outside. This happens about 20 times per year ;)

Very nice kiosk across the road. One of my favourite places in town. It helps that it's so close. When my daughters were babies I used to go home to change them in comfort & then go back to my table!

This is the closest hospital to the flat. It's good in an emergency but please keep in mind that this is a private hospital and that you will eventually be issued with a request for payment. The national public hospital is Mater Dei and it about 10 minutes away by ambulance and maybe 15 to 20 minutes away by private car.

This is the pharmacy closest to the flat. It's 2 minutes away at most. It's open Monday to Saturday from 9am till 7pm. On Sundays pharmacies open following a rota issued by the local health department. There should be a notice at the pharmacy saying which pharmacy is open on the day. There is a private doctor's clinic on the premises. The doctor isn't available all day. It's usually best to check at the pharmacy when he will be there next.

Parks & Nature
Nice gardens providing plenty of photo opportunities. The views from here are amazing. It's a good place to visit if you have children in the group as there is a play ground at one end of the garden. There's also a nice,casual, family friendly kiosk serving reasonably priced food. It's not high cuisine but it's okay for the price and surroundings. It's a great place to see fire works from when there is a local feast. The gardens are home to a large cat colony. They all have their own little houses and are well looked after but the local cat lovers. :) Keep an eye out for the big cat statue on the roof of the public facilities.

Drinks & Nightlife
This the main spot for Maltese night life. It's worth a visit just to see what it's all about. It might not be everyone's cup of tea. Generally, the later you go the older the crowd though the average age is generally in the early 20s. Paceville is also home to a number of very good restaurants. The better ones are usually found in the side streets away from the bars and clubs. If you head down the stairs (you'll know them when you see them) towards Bay Street and St. George's Bay you'll find a cinema complex, a small shopping mall and a bowling alley as well as a few more mature night spots. This area is popular also during the day.
