Perched on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, Gibraltar is a destination like no other — a slice of Britain bathed in Mediterranean light. Its compact size hides a wealth of experiences: ancient caves, hilltop views stretching to Africa, and lively marinas filled with waterfront bars and restaurants.
The Rock of Gibraltar dominates the skyline, offering panoramic views over two continents and the meeting point of two seas. Below, the old town’s narrow lanes, duty-free shopping, and blend of English and Andalusian influences make it a fascinating place to explore. Whether you’re here for sunshine, sailing, or a short city-meets-sea escape, Gibraltar delivers a little bit of everything.
Start with the iconic Rock of Gibraltar — ride the cable car to the top for breathtaking views and meet the famous Barbary macaques along the way. Explore St. Michael’s Cave, an awe-inspiring natural wonder turned event venue, and walk through the historic tunnels carved during wartime.
Down by the water, relax at Ocean Village Marina, lined with bars, restaurants, and boutique hotels, or head to Catalan Bay for a taste of beach life. Take a stroll along Main Street for duty-free shopping, or cross the border for a day trip into southern Spain — the perfect blend of adventure and ease.
Gibraltar enjoys a classic Mediterranean climate, with long, warm summers and mild winters. From May to September, expect plenty of sunshine and temperatures around 28°C, ideal for beach days and al fresco dining.
Spring and autumn bring pleasant warmth, while winters remain mild, averaging 15–17°C. Rain is rare outside the cooler months, and even then, the sun is never far behind. Whatever the season, Gibraltar’s mix of sea breezes and southern sunshine makes it a year-round escape.
