11 Reasons You Absolutely Have To Visit Valletta’s St. Paul’s Street
Valletta has three streets attracting most of its visitors: Republic Street, at the centre of it all, Merchant Street, which has developed into a foodie’s paradise, and Strait Street, which is fast becoming Malta’s new nightlife mecca. But there’s another street worth checking out, especially if you’re visiting during the day: St Paul’s Street. We should know, we work here.
