Traveler reviews
Raphael
★★★★★a month agoTruly stunning and beautiful view. I would highly recommend to go there in the evening to watch the sunset and afterwards watch the city lights of Valletta
Krzysztof Turczyn
★★★★★7 months agoFree access 24 hours. Well maintained. Just next to high end flats and apartments. You can go all the way down to the sea 🌊. Nice spot for hang out and sunset 🌆 view. Be careful when it’s rains 🌧️ very slippery. There is also a restaurant but seems expensive and I am poor.
