About Upper Barrakka Gardens

The Upper Barakka Gardens face the Grand Harbour. From the terrace, you can witness one of the most picturesque views in Malta. One can capture an unparalleled view of the only natural harbor in the Mediterranean with the three cities at its backdrop. It pulls in many Maltese and tourists all year round. The view is breathtaking and you are sure to carry it with you as a precious memory. Formerly, the gardens were built as a training ground for the Knights of the Langue of Italy.  An arcade across the entrance of the garden adds character.

Must See

Several monuments and memorials dedicated to a number of prominent personalities:

  • Gerald Strickland
  • Sir Thomas Maitland
  • Sir Winston Churchill.
  • A replica of the statue Les Gavroches
     

 

How to reach

The garden is just 770 meters away from the city center. 

Tips

  • You can combine this destination with the Saluting Battery.
  • The night view of the garden is mesmerizing.
  • Carry your eatables for a picnic, as there are no food stalls.
  • Do not litter, as you could be penalized.
