From the Malta World / Places

Buskett Gardens

Woodland in the Wied il-Luq valley offers a shaded contrast to Malta's open limestone coast. Paths and fruit-tree groves make the landscape itself the main attraction.

Buskett Gardens

Why go

One of Malta's few wooded areas grew from the Knights' hunting reserve and remains closely associated with the adjoining Verdala Palace. Broadleaved trees, conifers and fruit groves create a setting unlike the island's usual dry scrub. The landscape also provides context for the traditional Imnarja celebrations held around Saints Peter and Paul's feast.

What to look for

  • Fruit-tree groves and woodland
  • Verdala Palace above the gardens
  • The fertile Wied il-Luq valley

Useful to know

  • Combine a woodland walk with Dingli Cliffs nearby.
  • Treat Verdala Palace as a landmark; check separately for any special public opening.
