Malta: Paceville Pub Crawl Halloween Edition

Planning a night out in Malta and looking for a fun way to explore the island’s buzzing nightlife? The Paceville Pub Crawl Halloween Edition offers an engaging, social way to experience St. Julian’s famous district, especially if you’re into lively parties, themed festivities, and making new friends. With a friendly guide leading the way, you’ll get to hop between some of the top local hotspots, enjoy welcome drinks, and end the evening at the largest nightclub on the island.

What makes this experience appealing? For starters, the cost of $25 per person feels quite reasonable for what’s included: five welcome drinks, fun drinking challenges, and VIP access to Malta’s biggest club. We also love the chance to dive into local nightlife, guided by someone who knows the area well. Plus, the Halloween twist adds an extra layer of excitement — costumes, themed drinks, and spooky surprises.

However, one thing to keep in mind is that food and extra drinks aren’t included**, so if you’re planning on a full night of partying, it’s worth grabbing a bite beforehand or bringing extra cash. This pub crawl is best suited for those who enjoy social drinking, lively atmospheres, and a structured night out with like-minded party lovers.

This experience would suit young travelers, solo adventurers, or groups looking for a memorable, festive night in Malta without the hassle of planning every stop. If you’re eager to mix sightseeing with partying, it’s a fantastic way to connect and enjoy the Maltese nightlife scene.
