The marvelous lift connects Upper Barrakka Gardens and the Lascaris Ditch, offering fabulous views of the city. The lift is 58 meters high and can carry up to 21 passengers.

Windsurfer, Marsamxett Harbour, Sliema-Valletta All fans of classical music simply cannot fail to visit the Royal Opera House. The gorgeous Opera House was built in the 1860s, but it was completely destroyed by German air forces in 1942. It was decided not to rebuild the building but leave ruins instead as a reminder of the war. The Opera House was redesigned into an open-air venue and now regularly hosts concerts and other performances. The feeling of listening to music while sitting above the ruins is simply inimitable.
