Nice panoramic view of the fort and harbor. There is not much of a garden. Soldiers parade there occasionally. Nearby is an elevator that can take you down to the ferry for 1€ (return). Full review by jaksap

As others have said, very close. However, rather than approaching it from the centre of Valletta, the simplest is to enter the city via the main gate, walk straight down Republic street about 100m before turning right (Triq id Nofsinhar), past Piazza Jean de Valette and taking Castille street (off Castille Place) to arrive at the Upper Barrakka gardens (5-10 minutes from the Gate). The view is the main attraction rather than the garden itself.
