The Rock of Gibraltar is one of the best known landmarks in the World. Strategically located at the crossroads of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, it also finds itself between two continents that are vastly different, Europe and Africa. This also means that if you are in the area, it is mandatory that you visit it.

Over seven million people visit Gibraltar every year and you could be one of them. Visitors to Gibraltar are mostly made up of either day-trippers or tourists enjoying a short break for several days. Although the day trip will give you an insight into Gibraltar, it does not do justice to its many sites and attractions. It is therefore recommended that you come for at least three days.
You will find that Gibraltar is indeed a unique destination, with a blend of many cultures, history, heritage and brilliant vistas. Gibraltar has been a British colony for the past 300 hundred years and it was previously inhabited by the Spanish and Moors and each has left their mark on the place. It is completely different to anything you have experienced before. Whilst you are based in Gibraltar you will have the opportunity of visiting both Spain and Morocco, giving you the opportunity to sample three different cultures in one single holiday.

At night you will be able to sample Gibraltar’s traditional hospitality in its many bars and restaurants and end the night with a visit to the casino for a flutter at the tables. Last but by no means least; you will be able to shop till you drop. All the prices are VAT free, so your money does stretch further. All kinds of articles are available in Gibraltar, from watches to perfumery and from designer clothes to your normal “duty free” items like liqueur or tobacco. Also take a visit to the new vibrant Ocean Village boasting an array of shops, bars, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities including the New Gala Casino & Bingo complex, all surrounding the new waterfront port.
