Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from the center of Paola, head north towards Triq il-Knisja (Church Street). Walk straight until you reach the roundabout and take the second exit onto Triq San Tumas. Continue walking until you reach the intersection with Triq il-Mosta. Here, turn left onto Triq il-Mosta and continue walking straight until you reach the bus stop at the end of the street. From the bus stop, you can catch a bus heading towards Valletta. Once you arrive in Valletta, get off at the last stop, which is the main bus terminal. From the bus terminal, walk towards the St. Elmo area, passing by the Upper Barracca Gardens. Continue walking towards Lower Barracca Gardens, which is just a short distance from the Upper Barracca, located near the coast at the end of the street.

Once you arrive at Valletta, disembark at the bus terminal. From there, follow the signs to the waterfront and walk towards the east side of the city. As you walk, you will reach the Upper Barracca Gardens first. Continue walking down the steps from the Upper Barracca Gardens to reach the Lower Barracca Gardens, which is located by the sea and offers beautiful views.
