So much history, cheap things to buy, and great views.

A trifle expensive and I imagine very crowded in high season
In a nutshell

In some respects it's more British than Britain
54 Reviews Full of stalactites and stalagmites, this is the largest cave in Gibraltar. It was used as a hospital during World War II and today hosts concerts and fashion shows. The cave is lit up in places and was fun to explore. It was only spoilt by the concrete floor and seating in the Upper St Michael's...
54 Reviews This pedestrianised street is the main place for shopping, commerce and entertainment. Leading from it are many side streets that are also worth exploring. If you've come from the UK you'll recognise many of the shops here and be able to buy many of products you can at home.
9 Reviews and 453 Opinions The Rock Hotel is a colonial style building with views to Africa, built in 1932. The rooms are...
7 Reviews It had been a long day and I would have eaten anything. We were looking for somewhere to eat and were too hungry to care so we stopped at The Angry Friar. Seats outside and quite amusing seeing the guards march in the square. It really wasn't busy in the bar, yet the service reminded me of when...
5 Reviews If you have read the Restaurant section, you will already be familiar with Casemates Square. Out of the stretch of bars and restaurants around here, I suggest you go to 'The Tunnel'. Ok, I may be slightly biased because I worked there for a year, but it really is the liveliest of all the bars and is...
39 Reviews If you are spending time in Gibraltar and don't have your own transport, the local bus system will get you everywhere you want to go until about 9:00pm. The unlimited day use bus ticket is useful if you will take more than 3 trips in any one day. www.gibraltar.gov.uk has a list of all the bus...
21 Reviews If you want to pay more, you can shop there. You will pay at least 40% more than the most expensive shop in the UK! Gibraltar is tax free but don't expect to save anything on electronics. The only savings you can make in Gibraltar are on alcohol and tobacco. A lot more than the UK
8 Reviews Since I still had British pounds at home I took them with me which saved me the hassle of changing some EURO or using the ATM. Please note that you will mostly get Gibraltar pounds and pence back which you can only use in Gibraltar and not back in the UK. On the photo you may see a 5 pound note...
24 Reviews Might seem a little obvious but when you're already on the Costa Del Sol and are just taking a bus 20-30 km down the road, it's easy to forget that you actually have to cross a border. If the worst comes to the worst and you do forget it, you can spend some time In La Linea. Not the most exciting...
10 Reviews Yes Gibraltar is full of traders who are out to make a quick buck by hiking up prices, especially in electronics... but I have to say, we were blown over by the service of one jewellers in particular... I post this on the tourist trap to shed light on what I felt was probably one of the best...
7 Reviews Smart, small, and as little as possible. If you have the money you can buy anything you need. If you haven't the money you are unlikely to need to spend money buying things. You don't need money to enjoy Gibraltar. Definitely something flat for walking from one end of the Rock to the other. And some...
9 Reviews If you ever wondered about the structures between the Mosque and Jew’s Gate, these are old military structures which are mostly abandoned. Some of them have been already restored for new purposes, for example as a conference center. Other parts remain in use for the local government. The base...
33 Reviews I think that Gibraltar has no water spring, and, being surrounded by Spain, sometimes not so friendly, they had to use other resources to obtain such a vital element. In the slopes facing the sea, largely paved sections seem to be a solution to collect the rain into cisterns. What else could that...
If you're into stunning natural landscapes, wildlife, and great hotels Gibraltar is the place to be. The main focus may be the giant limestone Rock of Gibraltar that rises over 1,000 feet but there's plenty more to do. You can explore St. Michaels's cave, visit the Apes Den, travel through the Great Siege Tunnels, embark on a tour of World War 2, and watch a daily dolphin show in the Straight of Gibraltar. The language is a mix of English and Spanish so you may want to pack a travel dictionary!

The Botanic Garden is the green heart of Gibraltar’s town center. It is located south to the town center and works as a typicla city park. However, the...

A: Yes perfectly safe to see the apes, The cable car will take you to the viewing platform, DO NOT TAKE FOOD or TRY TO FEED THE APES. The apes are quite used to having there...

Gibraltar is probably one of the places in Europe that one wants to tick off the list just to say "I have been there!". So I took the chance to visit this exhilarating British overseas territory...

Gibraltar - Still a British Colony

Gibraltar is a small rock (well certainly not small enough that you can pick it up!) on the Southern Tip of Spain. The Rock has been under British sovereignty for several hundred years now and the...
