Savoy Gardens

Over

Korte feiten: The Savoy Gardens stretch along the coast of Sliema and offer a view that encompasses nearly 10 kilometers of coastline toward Valletta. On an area of about 3 hectares, among palms and exotic plants, are hidden benches from the British era and a walkway bathed in morning light.

Hoogtepunten: Here is a secret that few people know: beneath the eastern part of the gardens lie the remains of a British military battery from the 19th century, and some tunnels are still closed to the public. Local retirees play pétanque on the lawn by the sea every morning at 7 o'clock, so if you come early, you can watch a real little piece of everyday Maltese life.

Insidertips

• Bring comfortable shoes, the most beautiful part of the gardens is the set of steps that descend toward the water, but they are slippery after rain
• The best photo is from the northern end of the promenade, where Valletta is visible in its full length with Fischer harbor in the foreground
• Stop by the bakery on the corner of Triq it-Torri before coming, the 1 euro bread is perfect for breakfast on a bench
• Avoid midday from June to September, there is not enough shade for all the benches and the temperature exceeds 35 degrees
