Large open area with many trees and plantings with fountains and water features. The area is clean and safe with well managed gardens. The Botanic Garden offers tours on Thursday from 9:30 to 11:00. Our guide on the Thursday that we visited was very knowledgeable about the plants and the environment and taught us all so much about Malta, the indigenous plants and trees. What a great experience. Also, it was fun to walk around the garden itself and explore the plants and trees. The area is very large with views of the cities close by. Fun way to spend a late morning. Plenty of stray cats wandering about too.

Beautiful botanical garden. Mostly for biological research and collection, it shelters some delicate and fragile plants, not only from Malta but from everywhere in the world, which is why it is closed to public most of the time. You can only catch the guided tour every Tuesday at 9:30 until 11:00. Our guide, a friendly young man named Matthew from the university of Malta was very knowledgeable about the whole garden and most specifically about the Maltese biodiversity, on which he shared interesting facts with passion and enthusiasm. Worth visiting if you like plants and nature!

The Argotti Botanic Gardens & Resource Centre at Floriana forms part of the University of Malta and their development as a botanic garden dates back to the early 19th century when the first Chair of Natural History was established. Argotti started of as a private garden of Bailiff Ignatius de Argote y Guzman in the 1740's and still has several original architectural features dating back to this period including the unique Nymphaeum and the Summer Villa.

I spent a beautiful day walking in this garden together with the guide who explained step by step the various efforts made over time to save the local flora. I hope this project will be extended to the entire island and that more gardens will open, we need greenery and dedicated people here in Malta

Visiting the Argotti Botanic Gardens in Valletta was wonderful. We went in the morning and loved that it's free to enter. There are many different plants and nice paths with benches to relax on. The garden also has beautiful views. It's a great spot for a peaceful walk and we highly recommend it!

The space has been nicely refurbished and invites for a leisurely stroll all while taking in the views from the rampards. A bit disappointing that not all landscaped beds were topped up with soil and decorative plants. Worth a visit whilst in Floriana.
