Lower Barrakka Gardens
The Lower Barrakka Gardens is a public garden located in Valletta. It serves as a sister site to the Upper Barrakka Gardens and provides a space for walking and resting away from the main city streets.
Getting There
The gardens are located within the fortified city of Valletta. From the city centre, the site is accessible via a short walk. Depending on your starting point in the central district, it typically takes between 5 to 10 minutes to reach the entrance on foot.
