Things To Do in San Anton

Shopping here’s limited to the essentials, so head further afield for intense retail therapy. Mdina and Valletta are great places to pick up locally crafted goods, like gold, silver and glassware sold at cheap prices. For some touristy trinkets, larger resorts such as Bugibba are heaving with gift shops.

This week-long event of classical music performances is set in historical buildings in and around Valetta. It’s a 20-minute drive from San Anton, and you’ll get to see lots of different performances from musicians from around the world.

The San Anton Gardens are the biggest tourist attraction in Attard. They were built to complement the San Anton Palace, which today is the residence of the Maltese president. Visit these broccoli-green gardens, and you’ll discover fountains, ponds with families of ducks, and plants that are over three centuries old.

With many tourists heading to Malta’s coasts for their summer holidays, the restaurants in San Anton and the surrounding region are rarely overcrowded. In fact, the area of Attard has been called out for having one of the best pizza shops in all of Malta, as well as a handful of coffee shops selling mouth-watering cakes.
