Traveler reviews
Herbert Carroll
★★★★★8 years agoYou can see great views of the Grand Harbor from this point. There will be lots of steep downhill side streets that you’ll need to take if coming from the center of Valletta, but well worth the walk. When you arrive, climb the steps to the top of the memorial and stand south of the bell to see the best views the place has to offer. You’ll also be able to get a good view of outside of the Valletta peninsula as well.
Mirela Ruseva
★★★★★4 years agoNice place with a great view to the sea and the area around. A little bit windy but worth visiting because of the great scenery it offers for the visitors. There are good restaurants nearby and a little bit away from the bell monument there is nice garden with a lot of benches for relaxing and enjoying the great view.
