When renting a car to drive in Sliema, we would recommend a small car, like a compact or sub-compact vehicle. The narrow streets and tight parking spaces in Sliema make it difficult to navigate using a larger vehicle. A small car is also more fuel-efficient, allowing drivers to navigate the steep hills in the area without using too much gas.

In Sliema, the speed limit varies depending on the road and area. In commercial zones, the speed limit is generally 50 km/h (31 mph), while on highways it typically increases to 80 km/h (50 mph). However, different speed limits apply in different zones. For example, residential areas often have a speed limit of 30 km/h (18 mph) to prioritize pedestrian safety, while school zones will likely also have a speed limit of 30 km/h (18 mph) for the same reason.
