Upper Barrakka

Beautiful view! Amazing architecture. Interesting experience to see in the afternoon a shooting cannon tradition. And the entire city Valletta is so incredible, I really can’t describe it with words. I am truly happy that I have visited this place. And I know what I am saying cause I have been traveling to more than 20 countries

We sat here in the sun for about an hour so we could see the cannon fire at 1600. There is another demonstration at 12 midday also. It was a beautiful people watching spot, lots of places to sit. If you want to get a good view of the cannon shot then you can pay to enter, however we looked on from the balcony for free. I would recommend if you’re keen on getting a good view to arrive early for these demonstrations. There was a little cafe up here too however I did not purchase anything from there.

The Upper Barrakka Gardens in Valletta are absolutely breathtaking! The panoramic views of the Grand Harbour and the Three Cities are stunning and make for perfect photo opportunities. The gardens are beautifully maintained, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The Saluting Battery below adds a touch of history with its daily cannon firing, which is a must-see! I also loved the variety of statues and monuments that give the gardens a rich historical vibe. It’s an ideal spot for both sightseeing and unwinding after exploring Valletta

Wonderful views over Valletta with the most refreshing cool sea breeze to add relief to an otherwise 33c heat of the day. Monuments, water taxis, a docked cruise ship, a beautiful shore line, the prettiest lighthouse… all added such character to the panoramic views, which could be watched endlessly with a glass of something chilled to sip on!

Lovely small gardens with nice views over to the Three Cities. There is a cafe with coffee, cold beers, cocktails and a nice selection of fresh sandwiches and pastries. Public toilets are to the left of the entrance when entering through the arches. A great place to chill and enjoy the sun, it was quiet in the morning but after 11 was very busy with tourists, the lodge is can be a nuisance as well. You can get the lift here for €1 down to the jetty where you can get a ferry or gondola to the 3 cities, 10 mins away €3 each one way, or the ferry to Gozo which is €15 return.

Attended remembrance day here. Beautiful panoramic views Beautiful a lot take in. Lifts that take you down Small beautiful garden area with cafe, fountain, and an amazing viewing area of the harbour of Valletta. This area includes the lift, which takes you up and down with a bit of a queue for sure. Great views, great setting, and a must place to visit when in Valletta.

What a beautiful place with a beautiful view in the capital of Malta Valletta. Panoramic views out over the harbour and city. Lovely little places to sit and eat. Historical, pretty, scenic and architecturally interesting. Highly recommend a visit ❤️

Oh my days. I can’t comment on this place enough. It is such a beautiful place. There’s also a mini park where you could sit and enjoy the magnificent view and also you get to see a kind of aerial landscape of some part of the city
