Where to stay in Gibraltar: best areas

Gibraltar is essentially one town, so instead of different cities you choose an area. The most convenient ones are:

• Town Centre. The heart of Gibraltar with museums, restaurants and nightlife. The most hotels and the closest to the attractions.
• Ocean Village. A modern marina with apartments and harbour views. Popular with couples and weekend travellers.
• Main Street. A pedestrian high street with British pubs and shops. Central and close to everything.
• La Línea de la Concepción. The neighbouring Spanish town just over the border, where rooms can be cheaper. The centre of Gibraltar is a short walk away.

Nightly rates vary between areas. Here are indicative prices per night for a double room:

What to see in Gibraltar

You can see all of Gibraltar in one or two days, and most attractions cluster around the Rock.

• The cable car and the macaques. A ride to the top of the Rock, home to the only wild monkey population in Europe. Keep your distance, as they are known to grab food and belongings.
• The Old Town. British architecture, traditional pubs and narrow lanes right by the airport.
• The Great Siege Tunnels. Hand-carved passages from the late 18th century, a symbol of the Rock's military history.
• The two-continent view. From the highest points you can see Europe and Africa at once, with Gibraltar, Spain and Morocco.
• St. Michael's Cave. An impressive cavern that also serves as a concert hall thanks to its acoustics.

How much does a trip to Gibraltar cost

Prices are close to British levels. ATMs are everywhere and most places accept cards. A public transport ticket is about £1.35. Daily supermarket shopping runs roughly £20-30. The Spanish side of the border can be cheaper, which is why some travellers eat or sleep in La Línea.

When is the best time to visit Gibraltar

The Mediterranean climate means good weather for most of the year. Rooms are cheapest in January and priciest in April and at the peak of the spring and summer season. Summer can be hot and crowded, while spring and autumn are the most comfortable for exploring the Rock.
