The Parish Church, a prominent landmark, is surrounded by a few local shops, cafes, and the well-maintained Lija Belvedere Tower and gardens.

The best time to visit Lija is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months.During spring, the weather is pleasantly warm, with average temperatures ranging from 18°C to 25°C. This period avoids the intense heat of summer and the cooler, wetter days of winter.

It's a great time for couples seeking a comfortable and picturesque visit without the peak season crowds.Autumn also offers comfortable temperatures, typically between 20°C and 28°C, and the sea remains warm enough for swimming until late October. This season provides a good balance of agreeable weather and fewer tourists compared to the summer. Foodies might particularly enjoy autumn, as it coincides with local harvest festivals and offers opportunities to sample fresh seasonal produce.While summer (July and August) is hot and sunny, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C, it's also the busiest and most expensive time to visit.
