I am a sea-viewing and wave-listening tour + global traveler, please follow me! (Published the 1634th travel shot in 56 countries/regions in 5 continents and 1004 cities) Malta is a true island, and you can see the sea in the center of the island. There are many extraordinary landscapes here, but the best one is probably the Barrakka Gardens, located in the center of the capital Valletta, divided into Upper Barrakka Gardens and Lower Barrakka Gardens. The Lower Barrakka Gardens mainly consist of Roman-style marble temples. The famous Upper Barrakka Gardens are located above the grand harbor, with a free elevator connecting the two places. The Upper Barrakka Gardens are an excellent place to view the grand harbor and the opposite 'Three Sisters Castle'. On the fortress area below the Upper Barrakka Gardens, there is a row of 11 ancient cannons. Today, there is still a performance of firing ancient cannons at exactly 12 noon every day, which is worth seeing.

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. It is recommended to directly locate the Upper Barrakka Gardens and take a taxi. - If you drive by yourself, there is a parking lot next to the garden, and the parking space is tight during the peak season. - It takes about ten minutes to walk from the main gate of Valletta.

The Grand Harbour, Port of Valletta, is a natural harbour on the island of Malta. It has been substantially modified over the years with extensive docks, wharves, and fortifications. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #urbanexplorer
