Gibraltar: tourist information

Gibraltar is a large promontory of jurassic limestone, situated in the western entrance to the Mediterranean. The 5km-long (3 mile) rock contains 143 caves, over 48km (30 miles) of road and miles of tunnels. An internal self-governing British Crown Colony, Gibraltar has given its name to the Bay and the Straits which it overlooks. The town of Gibraltar is an 18th-century British Regency town built on a 15th-century Spanish town which was, in turn, built on a 12th-century Moorish town. Well worth a visit is St Michael’s Cave, part of a complex series of interlinked caverns, which is used for concerts and ballet. Another popular tourist activity is the cable-car trip to the top of the Rock, stopping at the Apes’ Den on the way. Gibraltar’s history as a British colony means that it can offer a large selection of British dishes as well as more international fare. The Colony has a number of discos, nightspots and a casino complex, open until the early hours of the morning.

Gibraltar Cruise Port Guide: dock

Cruise ships dock at Gibraltar’s North Mole. At this point there are only 2 options where the cruise ships can dock. This pier is called North Mole. From here it is approximately 1 mile / 1,5 km walk to get to Gibraltar’s main square. On the cruise dock you will find a small cruise terminal. The cruise terminal itself offers all necessary services: tourist information, souvenir shop and toilet facilities.

Transportation

There are a couple of options when leaving the cruise terminal building of how to get around. The most important decision you’ll have to make is wether you want to go up the rock or not. Going up the rock is hard to do independently. You will need either a shore excursion organized by the ship or a taxi tour you can book in the port or at other places in Gibraltar. If you just want to shop or explore the town either take the shuttle bus or walk to the main street. Find out underneath what forms of transportation is usually offered in port.

Shuttle service

Usually the port offers a shuttle service from the port to Casemates square (main square) which is normally a 25 minute walk. Find the stop right outside the cruise terminal building underneath the sign “Shuttle”. Cost is 3 euro one way / 4 euro both ways. The shuttle bus is organized by the local taxi union. It can be organized, but it can also be a long wait for the next one to arrive. Be flexible!

Public Transportation

Although Gibraltar has an effective public transportation system there is no public transportation offered at the cruise port. The first available bus stop is about 1 km walk. Find it at the first round about when walking away from the port area. Keep in mind public transportation is not allowed in the Upper Rock Reserve. However it offers a convenient way of visiting to the border, the cable car and Europe point. Pay the bus driver directly, he takes pounds and euros.

Taxis in Gibraltar

There are plenty taxis waiting when you exit the cruise terminal. You can book a taxi through the taxi booking desk in the terminal or if the desk is closed, just walk outside and deal with the taxis personally. The taxis advertise they have 2 different tours: – The standard tour that includes 4 stops: The great siege tunnels, views from Upper Rock and Apes, St. Michael’s cave and the Pillars of Hercules. It takes 1,5 hours and this would cost 12 pound per person, entrance tickets are not included in the price. – The extended tour that includes 6 stops: The Great Siege tunnels, Moorish Castle, Views from Upper Rock and Apes, St. Michael’s cave, 100 Ton Gun and Europe Point. This takes 2 hours and 15 minutes and should cost 20 pound per person, entrance tickets are not included in the price.

Keep in mind that you will probably be booked on a mini van that will take your fellow guests with it at the same time. Minimum is 4 people.

Sightseeing:

When you first see the Rock of Gibraltar, it is its impressive stature, towering isolated above the surrounding countryside, that causes the greatest impact. It is a narrow peninsula linked to the end of the Iberian Peninsula by a narrow sandy isthmus.

Gibraltar is less than 7 square kilometers, so most of it can be seen on foot. Bear in mind, though, that some of the roads (especially up to the Upper Rock) are very steep. Taxis will take the strain out of the climbs, and all the taxi drivers seem to know all the apes by name.

Do not miss very short runway. The tunnel at the end of the runway is now complete and is open to cars, buses and taxis. Pedestrians and e-scooters still cross the runway.

The name Gibraltar is the Spanish derivation of the Arabic name meaning "mountain of Tariq."

Tours Excursions Transportation:

Cable cars run from 9.30am until 5.45pm to the Upper Rock. A "cable car and apes" ticket costs £16 return, while a ticket including entrance to St. Michael's Cave and the Siege Tunnels costs more and will require some walking and climbing.

Alternatively, a 'Taxi-Tour' (typically for 8 people in an MPV) will cost £31 for a 1.5 hr tour, and this includes the fees for entry to the Cave, tunnels and upper rock. Taxis will often tell you that the cable car is broken, do not believe them! These tours leave from the cruise terminal.

So if you just want to see the apes and enjoy the view, take the cable car, otherwise take the guide tour to see all. Watch your belongings, the apes can be very aggressive.

In season there can be long lines at the cable-car.

A 20 minute walk downhill from the Cable Car top station will take you down to St. Michael's Cave , an impressive cave system consisting of a large area where many concerts take place – the Upper Hall – and several smaller chambers equally impressive. The Upper Hall is also used to host weddings and other memorable events.

Thrill-seekers will have a new reason to visit Gibraltar, where work just finished on the installation of a 71-metre-long suspension bridge across a 50-metre-deep gorge at Anglian Way in the Upper Rock.

To learn about the history of Gibraltar visit the Gibraltar National Museum in the city center.

It pays to compare your cruise line tours here

Nearby Places:

Although Spain is very close, Spanish border controls are very cumbersome and traffic jams at the border are long and frequent.

Shopping and Food

Main Street, about a kilometer long with its adjoining lanes and byways offers a large selection of goods, often duty-free, and with truly british character, including "bobby's". At the and of Main Street is the cable car station.

Tobacco prices are often cheaper in the tax free shop of your ship. Alcohol is dirt cheap in Gibraltar.

Shops normally open between 9.00 a.m. and 7.30 p.m. during weekdays and half days on Saturdays. Many, but not all, are closed on Sundays

The Gibraltar pound (on par with the British pound), Euros are accepted but best to use Sterling as the exchange rate is terrible

Gibraltarian notes and coins are not legal tender in the UK.

Two sailors had a whale of a time over the weekend—but only in the technical sense.

“This was a scary moment,” the skipper Jelmer van Beek said at the time. “Three orcas came straight at us and started hitting the rudders. Impressive to see the orcas, beautiful animals, but also a dangerous moment for us as a team.”

While that attack didn’t result in the sinking of the ship, another sailing yacht sank near the Tanger Med port in November, The New York Times wrote. The crew of that ship had to abandon the boat after a group of orcas slammed into the rudder for a whole 45 minutes. (The whales have seemingly been targeting sailboats in particular.)

Researchers don’t know for sure why the whales have been attacking boats, but they think it may be one of the ways the orcas play, the Times said—a pretty dangerous form of amusement, albeit. Others have theorized that it’s a short-term fad among the animals, or that one orca experienced a traumatic event that made it aggressive and other whales began to mimic that behavior. The incidents have become so common in recent years that sailors trade advice online about how to maneuver in the Strait of Gibraltar area, and the Spanish government issued a release that included tips for sailors.

A pack of killer whales sank a 50-foot yacht in Moroccan waters Sunday when the massive sea mammals slammed into the vessel and forced two sailors aboard to flee, officials said.

Spanish authorities said the crew members were rescued by a passing oil tanker that was alerted to the desperate situation after the boat sprang a leak during the orca encounter in the Strait of Gibraltar.

The two people were customers, and the vessel belonged to Spanish company Alboran Charter, according to the Washington Post .  

The yacht, which was 14 miles from the Cape Spartel coast, later sunk to the bottom of the ocean in the latest orca attack that has prompted experts to warn other sailors of danger in the area.

Last October, a Polish tour agency’s yacht was relentlessly hit by a herd of orcas for 45 minutes that led to “major damage and leakage,” the agency said. The boat ended up sinking.

Orcas also interfered with a sailing race last year when a boat traveling from the Netherlands to Italy had a 15-minute showdown with the animals. The crew was forced to drop its sails and make a ruckus to repel them.

Since 2020, hundreds of boats sailing in waters near Spain, Morocco and Portugal have encountered at least 15 orcas that led to some of the vessels sinking, the Washington Post reported.

Spain’s ministries for transport and the environment warned sailors of sailing boats and small motorboats that orca activity is at its peak between May and August between the Strait of Gibraltar and the Gulf of Cadiz. Officials encouraged boaters to sail near the coast.

A team of Spanish and Portuguese marine life scientists, called the Atlantic Orca Working Group, said there were 197 interactions between boats and killer whales in 2021 and 207 more in 2022.

Ile Rousse (Isola Rossa) is a port town on Corsica island, part of France's Haute-Corse department. This small town has population around 3,000.

Ile Rousse was established in 1758 in order to be created a seaport that wouldn't be in the hands of Genoese like Calvi . Until 1848, Italian was Corsica's administrative language. The town was named Isola Rossa (Red Island) due to the ochre color of its rocky islet serving as a natural harbor. Along with Saint-Florent , Ile Rousse is one of only a pair of towns in the department to have a French name. The others kept their Italian names.

Corsica is an island in the Mediterranean Sea. It is located west of the Italian Peninsula, southeast of mainland France, and north of Sardinia island (Italy). Mountains make up 2/3 of the island, forming a single chain.

The quays of Ile Rousse commercial port are built on 3 of the 6 small islands. Bridges link the harbor complex with the coast, the market, the fishing port, the fortifications.
