Things to Do

Gibraltar may be small in size, but it’s packed with unforgettable experiences, vibrant culture, and stunning natural beauty. Whether you’re visiting for a short stay or settling in long-term, there’s always something exciting to do.

A must-see is the iconic Rock of Gibraltar, home to the famous Barbary macaques—Europe’s only wild monkey population. These cheeky residents roam freely around the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, where you can also explore the St. Michael’s Cave, a dramatic natural grotto used since ancient times.

For history lovers, the Great Siege Tunnels and Moorish Castle offer a glimpse into Gibraltar’s strategic military past. Meanwhile, the Skywalk and Windsor Suspension Bridge provide breathtaking views across the Strait of Gibraltar, with Africa visible on clear days.

Gibraltar’s social scene is just as lively. Casemates Square is the heart of the town, buzzing with cafés, bars, and live music. For foodies, the local dining scene blends British, Spanish, and Moroccan influences. Enjoy fresh seafood at The Ocean Restaurant, tapas at La Tapilla Sixtina, or a sunset cocktail at Sunborn Yacht Hotel’s Sky Bar.

Shopping is tax-free, making Main Street a popular destination for fashion, electronics, and souvenirs. For a more relaxed vibe, head to Catalan Bay, a charming fishing village with a sandy beach and traditional eateries.

Whether you’re into nature, nightlife, or history, Gibraltar offers a unique blend of experiences in a compact, walkable setting. It’s the perfect place to explore, unwind, and enjoy life on the edge of two continents.
