  The view is absolutely beautiful and really well preserved. Unlike other landmarks around Europe, what we liked about the gardens was the peaceful nature, and calmness of the area. Would recommend going there to see the sunrise or the sunset as it's a really unforgettable experience.

  Lovely Oasis in the heart of the old City of Valletta. Has a cafe but best are the views of the three cities and Grand Harbour. Always a joy to relax in for a few contemplative moments at any hour of the day or evening.
