Getting around Valletta
We start our walk at Triton Fountain, where a taxi stand and a bus station take place and make it easy to drop someone off in the centre of Malta's Capital. A few meters away, Valetta City Gate stands majestically for almost 500 years. As We pass it through, we turned right to visit the amazing Upper Barracks Gardens. Continuing your walk by the sea, you can take a breath and enjoy the view from the World War II Siege Bell. Visiting the National War Museum and St Paul's Cathedral, among other sightseeing, we ended our walk entering St. John's Co-Cathedral, which absolutely takes someone's breath with its architecture.
