NIGHTLIFE IN MALTA
|
Malta's nightlife is centred around St Julian's and Sliema,
two suburbs of Valletta. Both these neighbourhoods have a
multitude of bars and nightclubs, especially St Julians, where
nightclubs and restaurants lie next door to each other, for
streets on end.
There are several discotheques, which are really popular
and the island has a number of very large and modern ones.

DJs are frequent guests here, all-year round.
| Nightlife is an all-week affair
in Malta. Streets in the nightlife towns get literally crowded
with people, all out for a good night out. That is not to
say that nightlife in Malta caters only for the rowdy lot.
One can still enjoy a drink in a quiet bar or a late dinner
in a romantic setting. The beauty about the island is that
one can change setting from sea-side to town-life in minutes.
No mountains to cross, here. More...
Roulette, baccarat, black jack and boule can be played at
either of two main casinos, in St Julians and in Bugibba.
The newest casino is the one in the Cottonera region, a subsidiary
of the Casino di Venezia. The minimum age for entrance to
a casino is twenty-five for Maltese citizens, but appreciably
lower for non-Maltese nationals. More...

For those interested in something more sedate, the
Malta Cultural Institute hosts concerts, ballets and
choir recitals on a regular basis. The Manoel Theatre
is one of the oldest in Europe (and definitely the oldest
theatre still in use), while the Mediterranean conference
centre has a thriving musical calendar of its own. More... |
VILLAGE FESTAS
| These serve as a wonderful
evening out, especially in Summertime, where there will
be several festas occuring at the same time in different
villages in Malta and Gozo.

|
Besides processions, band marches and confetti
throwing, the Maltese pride themselves in performing spectacular
firework displays, both in air and also the popular "juoco
di fuoco" show, where fireworks are built onto ever increasingly
complex revolving wheels attached on masts, powered solely
by jet propulsion produced by colourful fireworks. More... |
