The Gardens (upper/lower) are worth the visit. Take the ferry from Sliema to Valletta. Then up the streets to Hastings gardens. Take a short walk and you can see the Upper gardens. Then, it is possible to take the elevator to save time and walk to the left up a bit. You can see the Lower gardens easily. Right next to the gardens you have the Bell monument. There are numerous restaurants and coffee shops around. Nice lunch and good coffee available.

Très beaux jardins, avec vues sur la valette.
Très agréable, avec monuments.
Des bancs, des fontaines.
Beaucoup de monde à midi car tir de canon.
Un seul tir bien que ce soit 12h, on s'attendait à 12 coups, beaucoup d'attente pour pas grand chose.

Très joli parc, petit certes mais charmant. La vue est magnifique et les coins ombragés permettent de prendre un peu la fraîcheur pendant les heures chaudes.

Magnifique parc plein de verdure et de monuments historiques. Il y a beaucoup de bancs, à l’ombre et au soleil pour se poser. Ce parc étant en hauteur, il offre une superbe vue.

The beautifully landscaped gardens provide a serene atmosphere, making it an ideal spot to enjoy panoramic views of the Grand Harbour. The historical monuments and charming pathways enhance the experience, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking a peaceful oasis with a touch of history.

Lovely area with stunning views into the Valletta harbour. Plenty of shade and seats there so it was nice to sit down for a while after walking in the intense heat for the day. There are also plenty of historical statues and monuments showcasing Malta's interesting past. Worth a visit when stopping into Valletta.

A nice little garden facing the harbour and the 3 Cities. Perfect for sunset and there are a lot of benches to sit and enjoy the view. Near the entrance of the garden has some restaurants/ kiosk to buy food and drinks. Easy for a hot day to hang out. I came here when the flowers blossom, so made it even more beautiful.

Definitely a beautiful view the Mediterranean from this outlook post. Even though it’s a little bit lower in altitude than the upper gardens, it has a unique perspective of the city.

Particularly, the bell across with the sleeping solder statue (commemorating the departure of British Colonialists) and the open sea are much visible form here.

The garden itself, in my opinion, is much more well kept than the upper one. Also, there were a lot less people here as well compared to up there.

Worth a visit. Snap a few pics and learn a little history!
