Barrakka Lift

This new lift was opened in December 2012. It connects two parks in the city center. It is mentioned that the elevator is located in the original location where the previous elevator was, which was dismantled in 1983, and operated between 1905 and 1973. The height of the elevator is 58 meters, and it can carry 21 people at a time. The ride takes about twenty-five seconds, making it the fastest route between the parks. The lift also provides a practical alternative for the thousands of travelers who disembark at the Valletta passenger terminal to reach the city with its shops, restaurants, churches and museums.
