The garden features numerous shady resting spots surrounded by Mediterranean shrubs and historic monuments.

Nearby attractions include a former hospital of the Maltese Knights.

Lower Barrakka Gardens reviews
-
The views are pretty much what they are from the Upper Gardens. A bit less foliage and a wonderful view of the Grand Harbor. There are clean and well maintained toilets here with sufficient supplies. Very nice play area for the kids. Try to get there for the midday gun salute - a hold over British custom.

Cool place to look around the Valletta bay area. The tower is quite impressive though not too high. Would recommend it to everyone who just wants to enjoy the view. It is located 10 minutes from the city centre.
