Best Viewpoint in Malta - Upper Barrakka Gardens

Located at the southeast corner of the main island of Malta, the Upper Barrakka Gardens, also known as the Italian Lookout, is the best viewpoint in Valletta, the capital of Malta, and a must-visit place for every tourist visiting Malta. ❤️Recommended reasons 🔶The Barrakka Gardens are divided into upper and lower parts. If time is limited, you can only come to the upper garden, where the excellent location and breathtaking views will definitely not disappoint you. Especially the tall arches and huge arched windows in the garden, full of momentum, make people can't stop the camera shutter. 🔶This place was originally the private garden of the Italian knights and was also part of the Valletta defense fortifications. The garden is filled with marble slabs recording the history of Malta, as well as statues and sculptures commemorating some great people, such as Einstein and Churchill. The Lower Barrakka Garden is mainly a Roman-style marble temple. 🔶In the Upper Barrakka Garden, you can have a panoramic view of the Three Sisters City across the harbor: Vittoriosa, Cospicua, and Senglea. You can also overlook the long coastline and historical buildings along the southeast coast of Valletta, as well as the entire Malta port. The azure Mediterranean Sea makes this beautiful scenery look like a painting. After enjoying the scenery, you can spend one euro to take the elevator directly to the coast at the foot of the mountain and take a boat directly to the Three Sisters City on the opposite side. 📸Shooting Tips 1️⃣There are always many tourists here, if you want to shoot the garden and arches with fewer people, try to get up early or before sunset. 2️⃣This is a great place to shoot the sunset. 3️⃣Telephoto and wide-angle lenses are useful here. The telephoto lens can pull to the Three Sisters City on the opposite side, and the wide-angle lens can shoot arches, etc. 4️⃣It is recommended to wear brightly colored clothes, which can contrast sharply with the yellow buildings and the color of the sea. 🎫Tickets: Free 🚗Transportation: - Valletta is mostly uphill and downhill.
