During the hot summer days, there are a few areas to sit in the shade, enjoy a cool drink, and relax for a while before continuing your walk.
Strait Street is another magnificent street to explore. The architecture of the buildings and the culture of the people are seen in this area. The street runs the length of the city and is filed with cafés and bars. It gives the appearance of the back streets of some towns and cities but is a great place to visit. At one time, it was considered the red light district and is sometimes still that way at night, but during the day, it is a different place. The street is skinny and a little rough looking, but it does give you some idea of how the people live in the area.
St Ursula Street is your typical street with hotels and incredible views of the Grand Harbour. Many people find there way down to this street and enjoy the area and al it offers.

Freedom Square is another place to take a walk and see the area. You will find shopping and restaurants bustling with people. On Sunday, the street is deserted.

Old Bakery Street is old time and gives more of an authentic look. The old buildings and churches are nice to see and explore.
