HIGHLIGHTS

Top Tourist Attractions in Gibraltar

A singular experience in Gibraltar is seeing the renowned Barbary macaques, the only wild monkeys in Europe.
Miles of tunnels run beneath the Rock of Gibraltar, the first of which dates back to the Great Siege of Gibraltar, which lasted from 1779 to 1783.
The Gibraltar Museum is devoted to preserving the area's rich natural, military, and cultural history.
The north coast of Morocco is visible from Europa Point, located on the southernmost tip of Gibraltar and is only 21 kilometres (13 miles) distant across the Straits.

SEASONS TO TRAVEL

Best Months to Visit Gibraltar

Generally, this country experiences mild winters and warm summers, with most rain falling in the winter.
The greatest time to travel is during the warm, dry summers when there are fewer interruptions from rain.
Although August is the warmest month of the year, it doesn't become very hot because of the seaside breezes.
The coldest month of the year is January, and the winter rains can make it feel much colder than it is.
The air can feel nippier and like it's biting into your bones during the winter rains, but ideally, you'll be well-bundled to lessen the impact.

WORTH A VISIT

The Best Places to Visit in Gibraltar

Europa Point

Europa Point is located on the peninsula of Gibraltar at its southern point.
The majestic Mosque of The Custodian of the Holy Mosques, the mediaeval church of Nuestra Seora de Europa (the Shrine of Our Lady of Europe), and the historical Trinity Lighthouse from the 19th century are all well worth a visit.
The region, which has seen extensive reconstruction recently, is also home to the spectacular Harding Battery, a restored fortification constructed in 1859.
The Nun's Well, a historic underground water storage facility, is also there.
The island's sole cricket field and the Sikorski Memorial, a memorial to one of Poland's top WWII generals who perished here in an aircraft crash in 1943, are more recent additions to the island's attractions.
Also, you'll be rewarded with stunning views of the African coast and Algeciras Bay.

the Apes of Gibraltar

The only monkeys in the wild in Europe are Barbary macaques, a species endemic to Morocco and a prominent feature of Gibraltar.
According to legend, if the gorillas ever leave Gibraltar, so will the Brits.
Yet, this possibility seems remote, given that the island is home to over 160 species.
The Upper Rock Natural Reserve in the island's Upper Rock region is the finest site to see them.
You can visit the well-known Apes' Den here to get near these intriguing animals without worrying about being hassled.
Visitors should be cautious, though, as these apes are wild and bite.
Also, they occasionally enter the town, so be aware of your possessions. Feeding is forbidden.
Joining a Gibraltar Rock Tour is a terrific way to guarantee you get to see the monkeys and the colony's biggest tourist sites.
A knowledgeable tour guide will accompany you as you depart from the town centre and take you to the well-known Ape's Den region, the breathtaking St. Michael's Cave, the tunnels used by the British forces during WWII, and Europa Point.

the Gibraltar Cable Car

The Gibraltar Cable Car provides access to almost everything in the Upper Rock area, including the nature reserve, the monkeys, and the breathtaking views.
A party of 30 can ride this magnificent aerial tramway at once up the 412 metres to the "Top of the Rock," reached in 1966.
It's a breathtaking excursion that, despite only taking six minutes, provides some of the nicest views of the Mediterranean you're ever going to see as you ascend.
The best attractions en route are described in depth by an entertaining audio guide.
Many of the top sites on this list can be reached from the upper station, where you can also enjoy a great café and terraces with stunning views of the Mediterranean to Morocco.
When you're finished, take the cable car back down to the town or descend using the well-known Mediterranean steps if you're feeling brave.

Gibraltar Off the Beaten Track

the Views from O'Hara's Battery atop the Rock of Gibraltar

The 425-meter-tall highest point in Gibraltar is well worth visiting.
The Gibraltar Cable Car provides access to the top of the Rock of Gibraltar, offering a vantage point with unmatched vistas.
O'Hara's battery was initially built during the reign of Charles O'Hara, the governor of Gibraltar from 1795 to 1802, as a lookout station for monitoring ship movements via the Strait of Gibraltar.
However, O'Hara's vision did not turn out as he had hoped, and the location quickly became known as "O'Hara's Folly."The present tower, which holds a gun that was actively employed during World War II, was built in its place after the original tower was destroyed in 1888.
The location is in the Upper Battery, which also houses Lord Airey's Battery and Spur Battery, on the grounds of the Upper Rock Nature Reserve.
Views of the Mediterranean, the strait, and the city below are available to visitors, along with access to the cannon, magazine, and engine room.

The Mediterranean Steps

Access to Gibraltar's Highest Point can also be made on foot for fit and daring.
The beautiful Mediterranean Steps, a steep stairway constructed by the British soldiers in the 18th century that leads you from the top to the bottom of the island require much effort to climb, but the rewards are worth it.
The hour-long ascent (taking into account break pauses) starts at the southern tip of the Rock and gradually snakes its way up to O'Hara's battery.
You'll have plenty of chances to pause along the way to catch your breath and take in Gibraltar's rich flora and animals.
In addition, several other trails are easily accessible from the steps and are worth exploring.
