For a moment of peace away from the city's bustle, slip into the Lower Barrakka Gardens. It's a bit of a hidden gem compared to its more famous sibling, the Upper Gardens, which means you'll find a more tranquil atmosphere to enjoy the incredible panoramic views of the Grand Harbour. Find a bench beneath the arches, admire the central monument, and just watch the ships glide by – it's the perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of Valletta.
