Valletta has two nice public parks located facing the harbor: the Lower Barraka Gardens and the Upper Barrakka Gardens. Especially from the upper ones you can enjoy good views on the Grand Harbour, the fort St. Angelo and the Three Cities. It is located on the St. Peter and Paul bastion and contains different memorials and artworks, for example honoring Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill.
It is a lovely place to sit down and watch the hustle and bustle underneath. Below the gardens you can find the saluting battery where canons are fired as part of ceremonies and a little bit hidden is the lift bringing you down to the ferry boat. The gardens can be easily reached from the main city gate (Bieb il-Belt), you just need to walk around the parliament building and walk towards the harbor.
