Maps of Gibraltar

Covering an area of only 6.7 sq. km, the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar is located at the southern edge of the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe. Previously a part of Spain , the British gained control of this strategic plot of land in 1704 and have held on to it ever since. The territory consists mostly of military installations that are used by the British including a naval dockyard and airforce base that doubles as a civilian airport. The only other nation that borders Gibraltar is of course Spain. That being said, Gibraltar is so close to North Africa that you can physically see Morocco from across the water with the naked eye. 

The Rock of Gibraltar , the most significant landmark of the region, has been marked on the map above with an upright yellow triangle. This spectacular rock monolith rises to an elevation of 1396ft (426m) and is also the territory’s highest point 

The Europa Point Lighthouse  is another distinguishing landmark of Gibraltar. Located on the southernmost tip of the territory, the lighthouse serves as both a functional tool to help guide passing ships during the night as well as a cultural monument. The surrounding land is close to the sea level and consists of a few sandy beaches. There are no rivers in Gibraltar. The territory’s lowest point is at the Mediterranean Sea (0m).

The city  is a beautiful of both British and Spanish culture. Much of the city consists of timeless Spanish architecture whilst sporting plenty of English pubs and restaurants. The blend of both Northern and Southern European ways has helped make Gibraltar one of the most unique and special places on Earth. 

Political Map of Gibraltar

Being an overseas territory of the United Kingdom, Gibraltar has no major administrative divisions. However, it is divided into a total of 7 Major Residential Areas. In alphabetical order, these Major Residential Areas are East Side, North District, Reclamation Areas, Sandpits Area, South District, Town Area, and Upper Town.

Gibraltar serves as an important airbase and an international port, as well as a major tourist attraction. More than thousands of tourists visit each year to tour "The Rock," and to enjoy the beaches and wonderful Mediterranean weather. At the foot of “The Rock” is the densely populated city area, which is home to more than 32,000 people. 

Where is Gibraltar?

The British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar is located at the southern edge of the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe. It is geographically positioned both in the Northern and Western hemispheres of the Earth. The territory overlooks the Strait of Gibraltar, which connects the Mediterranean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean. Gibraltar is bordered by the country of Spain in the north.

Red pillar boxes, fish-and-chip shops and creaky 1970s seaside hotels: Gibraltar – as British writer Laurie Lee once commented – is a piece of Portsmouth sliced off and towed 500 miles south. ‘The Rock’ overstates its Britishness, a bonus for pub-grub and afternoon-tea lovers, but a confusing double-take for modern Brits who thought the days of Lord Nelson memorabilia were long gone. Poised strategically at the jaws of Europe and Africa, Gibraltar, with its Palladian architecture and camera-hogging Barbary macaques, makes an interesting break from the white towns of bordering Cádiz province. Playing an admirable supporting role is the swashbuckling local history; the Rock has been British longer than the United States has been American.

14 Top-Rated Attractions & Things to Do in Gibraltar

Written by Bryan Dearsley Updated Dec 27, 2023 We may earn a commission from affiliate links ( )

Long famous as the "key to the Mediterranean," Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory. Overlooking one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, the "Rock of Gibraltar," as it's still often known, rises out of the sea on the east side of Algeciras Bay and is linked to mainland Spain by a narrow isthmus.

The town of Gibraltar itself lies on the west side of the Rock. For such a small country — it only covers an area of four square kilometers — Gibraltar certainly has more than its fair share of tourist attractions and famous sights.

Plan your sightseeing adventures with our list of the best attractions and top things to do in Gibraltar.

At the most southerly point of Gibraltar's peninsula is Europa Point. It's well worth a visit for the historic 19th-century Trinity Lighthouse, the old chapel of Nuestra Señora de Europa (the Shrine of our Lady of Europe), and the impressive Mosque of The Custodian of the Holy Mosques .

The subject of a great deal of redevelopment in recent years, the area is also where you'll find the impressive Harding Battery , a restored fortification built in 1859. It's also home to the Nun's Well , an ancient underground water reservoir.

More recently added attractions include the island's only cricket ground and the Sikorski Memorial , a monument to one of Poland's leading generals of WWII, who died here in a plane crash in 1943. You'll also be rewarded with excellent views across Algeciras Bay and the African coast.

Gibraltar is famous for its Barbary macaques, a species native to Morocco and the only monkeys living wild anywhere in Europe. Legend has it that if the apes ever leave Gibraltar, so too will the British. But with more than 160 of the animals thriving on the island, this eventuality seems remote.

The best place to see them is in the Upper Rock Nature Reserve in the Upper Rock area of the island. Here, you'll find the famous Apes' Den, a great place to visit for you to get up close with these fascinating creatures without fear of being harassed. But visitors beware: as cute as these apes are, they're wild and do bite. Also, from time-to-time they venture into the town, so watch your belongings. Feeding is strictly prohibited.

A great way to ensure you get to see the monkeys, as well as the colony's top tourist attractions, is to join a Gibraltar Rock Tour . Setting off from the town center and accompanied by a professional tour guide, you'll be transported to see the monkeys at the famous Ape's Den area, as well as take in spectacular St. Michael's Cave, the tunnels used by the British army during WWII, as well as Europa Point.

Not only does the Upper Rock Nature Reserve offer great views, it's also a good place to see some of the millions of birds that stop over while migrating between Africa and Europe. Encompassing more than 40 percent of the island, the reserve includes many of Gibraltar's most important attractions, including St. Michael's Cave , as well as Forbes' Quarry , where one of the world's first female Neanderthal skulls was found in 1848.

In addition to its unique flora and fauna, the reserve holds numerous reminders of the island's military importance, including a 100-ton gun at Magdala Battery, as well as informative displays relating to the island's history in the Heritage Centre at Princess Caroline's Battery.

Pretty much everything that can be enjoyed at the Upper Rock area - the nature reserve, the monkeys, and the amazing views - can be accessed via the Gibraltar Cable Car. This spectacular aerial tramway was constructed in 1966, and is capable of carrying groups of up to 30 passengers at a time up the 412 meters to the "Top of the Rock."

It's a breathtaking journey, and even though it only takes six minutes, offers some of the best views you're ever likely to experience of the Mediterranean as you make your ascent. An interesting audio guide provides details of the top sights along the way.

From the upper station, you can access many of the top attractions included on this list, as well as enjoy a delightful café and terraces offering superb views over the Mediterranean all the way to Morocco. When you're done, either ride the cable car back down or, if you're feeling adventurous, take the famous Mediterranean steps back down to the town.

Address: Red Sands Road, Gibraltar

Gibraltar's highest point is some 425 meters tall, and is well worth exploring. The very top of the Rock of Gibraltar is accessed from the Gibraltar Cable Car, providing a vantage point with unparalleled views.

O'Hara's Battery, named for Charles O'Hara, who served as governor of Gibraltar from 1795 to 1802, was originally constructed during his term as a lookout point for watching ships' movements through the Strait of Gibraltar . Unfortunately, O'Hara's vision did not work as well as planned, and the site soon gained the nickname "O'Hara's Folly."

The original tower was destroyed in 1888 and replaced by the current structure, which houses a cannon that was actively used during World War II.

The site is on the grounds of the Upper Rock Nature Reserve in the Upper Battery, which is also home to Spur Battery and Lord Airey's Battery . Visitors can see the cannon, magazine, and engine room, as well as enjoy views of the Mediterranean, the strait, and the city below.

For the fit and adventurous, access to Gibraltar's Highest Point can also be achieved on foot. While it's a hard slog up the wonderful Mediterranean Steps - a steep staircase built by the British army in the 18th century that literally takes you from the top to the bottom of the island - it's not without its rewards.

The hour-long climb (accounting for rest stops) takes in some of the best views from the south end of the Rock, and gradually winds its way up to O'Hara's battery. Along the way, you'll enjoy many opportunities to stop, catch your breath, and enjoy Gibraltar's diverse flora and fauna. There are also numerous other trails that can easily be accessed via the steps that are worth exploring, too.

And if you don't fancy the climb up, well, you can, of course, always tackle the steps in reverse.

If you're interested in seeing marine animals up close, consider joining an exciting dolphin watching excursion . These highly rated tours are undoubtedly one of the top things to do in Gibraltar for families, and are suitable for kids of all ages.

Lasting approximately 75 minutes, these marine wildlife adventures include an exciting ride on a specially made viewing vessel designed to cruise alongside pods of up to 200 dolphins as they swim in the Strait of Gibraltar.

It's a truly breathtaking sight, especially with the backdrop provided by the 'Rock' itself, as well as the great views over Morocco and the Spanish coastline. Although the trips run throughout the day from Marina Bay, be sure to book ahead of time to secure your spot.

No visit to Gibraltar would be complete without paying a visit to the stunning St. Michael's Cave. The largest of the island's more than 150 caves, St. Michael's Cave lies at least 274 meters above sea level and is crammed full of spectacular stalactites and stalagmites.

First recorded in 45 CE, and known to have sheltered Neanderthals more than 40,000 years ago, the cave has many legends associated with it, including one suggesting the island is secretly connected to Africa via a 24-kilometer-long tunnel.

The reality, however, is equally impressive. The largest area of the cave, the Upper Hall, is connected via five passages to a smaller hall where you'll see spectacular drops of between 12 and 45 meters. A number of smaller chambers, some reaching depths of 76 meters, are accessible via a series of small holes.

During excavation work in WWII, the Lower St. Michael's Cave was discovered, containing many more equally breathtaking chambers, as well as a small underground lake.

For a truly unforgettable experience, take in a concert in the fabulous Cathedral Cave , a natural underground concert hall seating 400 people for performances of music, ballet, and drama. A variety of tour options are available, and the caves can even be used to host weddings.

Address: Spur Battery Rd, GX11 1AA, Gibraltar

A relatively new attraction (it was only completed in 2018), the Skywalk is already one of the top things to do when visiting the Gibraltar Nature Reserve.

Perched 340 meters above the Mediterranean, the Skywalk is an incredible experience (unless you're afraid of heights) as the cliff falls away from under your feet to the shoreline far below. If you can overcome your fear of heights, the vistas are simply stunning as you're able to enjoy uninterrupted views in all directions.

From here, you're also able to enjoy the equally spectacular (and also very new) Windsor Suspension Bridge, connected by a series of fun walking trails. Stretching 71 meters over a spectacular 50-meter gorge, the views over the Straits of Gibraltar are breathtaking.

A visit to either site (admission is included with the Gibraltar Nature Reserve) is especially memorable at sunset.

Perched high above the old town of Gibraltar and overlooking Casemates Square, the medieval Moorish Castle is certainly an imposing sight.

Originally built in the eighth century and rebuilt in the 14th century, much of the castle has been destroyed over time, although the parts that do remain — including the tall Tower of Homage, a massive gatehouse, and a few fragments of masonry — certainly suggest the building's former glory. In places, battle scars from the island's many sieges can still be seen.

The Tower of Homage is in fact the highest such Islamic structure left standing in the Iberian Peninsula, while the walled Kasbah, where local dignitaries would reside, is one of the largest in the area.

Address: 5 Moorish Castle Estate, Gibraltar GX11 1AA, Gibraltar

Located at the northern end of Main Street, Casemates Square is the largest public space in the old city center and is a popular gathering place due to its numerous restaurants, cafés, and shops. Although completed in 1817, evidence of settlements dating back to the Moors of the 10th century has been found.

While for centuries it served as a place of trade (and also execution), these days the square is where you'll find numerous cultural events and fun things to do, including open-air concerts, National Day celebrations, and the increasingly popular Calentita Food Festival.

Other landmarks along Main Street include the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. Mary the Crowned, a former mosque rebuilt in Gothic style in 1502. In Cathedral Square stands the Moorish-style Anglican Cathedral (1821), while near the south end of Main Street is the Governor's Residence, originally a Franciscan convent built in 1531.

Also worth a visit, if time allows, is the attractive fishing village of Catalan Bay . It's located on the east shore, just a few minutes' drive from the town center.

With a focus on the cultural and natural history of Gibraltar, including the Strait of Gibraltar, the Gibraltar National Museum was established in 1930 and is located in Bomb House on Bomb Lane, the former residence of the Principal Artillery Officer. Highlights of this excellent (though small) museum are the well-preserved 14th-century Moorish Baths, and the huge model of the Rock as it would have looked in 1865.

Other galleries deal with the island's geological origins from the Jurassic Period to the present day, a collection of rare Roman anchors, and an exhibit detailing the Great Siege of Gibraltar from 1779-1783. Guided tours are available.

Address: 18, 20 Bomb House Ln, Gibraltar GX11 1AA, Gibraltar

Official site: www.gibmuseum.gi

Perhaps the most significant military installation in the Mediterranean, the Great Siege Tunnels of Gibraltar are an engineering marvel. Carved out of the sheer face of the "Notch," the northern face of the Rock, using nothing but manual labor, this labyrinth of tunnels was built by the British in just six weeks as a defense against a combined force from France and Spain when they tried to recapture the Rock from the British.

The 14th of many sieges the island has endured over the centuries, the Great Siege lasted from 1779 to 1783 and, thanks to the tunnels, resulted in Britain's victory in what would, without the cannons that were able to be mounted here, have undoubtedly ended in defeat. Some of these canons are on display.

Additional tunnels were added in WWII, bringing the total length of the tunnel network to an impressive 51 kilometers. Admission to the siege tunnels is included with entrance to the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, and guided tours of both sets of tunnels are available.

The beautiful Gibraltar Botanic Gardens - also known as La Alameda Gardens - is a great place to spend time away from the often-busy attractions elsewhere on the island. Located at the end of Main Street near the Southport Gates, this public garden, with its luxuriant subtropical vegetation, was commissioned in 1816 for the enjoyment of soldiers stationed here.

Visitors can also take in the Alameda Wildlife Conservation Park , a small zoo set up to house animals rescued by customs or police that can't be returned to the wild, as well as an open-air theater hosting many excellent cultural and musical events. Fun guided tours are available once a month, if you can catch one.

Tourist Map of Gibraltar

The Andalusian Brittany is a reality in this piece of land, of tiny extension but of enormous emotion. It seems that there is not much to do in a place that has a rock and a little more than a hundred monkeys, but really that its historical center, neighborhoods, castles and museums form a tourist route of entrance that we detail in this tourist map of Gibraltar. What is most exciting is to arrive and feel in a mini kingdom, which even has its own currency, a tax-free trade and surprises inside “literally”. This ticket will give you the reasons that many tourists have for spending more than an afternoon. The perfect excuse for a couple of days out is its excellent nightlife, natural attractions and excursions that are obviously not worth the haste.

This tourist site is compact, easy to visit but difficult to get away from every corner. The good thing is that, depending on the time of year you choose to visit, you will always have the warmth of its about 33 thousand inhabitants with their arms open. It is relatively small, typical of a British overseas territory. Its geostrategic location has allowed it to be steeped in various cultural influences throughout its turbulent history. From the Phoenicians to the Romans, then the Visigoths and the Vandals and then the Byzantines, not to mention the Moorish influence has given it an accumulation of elements that are intermingled in its 7 square kilometers. Currently this territory has been in dispute between the kingdoms of Spain and the United Kingdom for its sovereignty, since the important enclave it represents as the entrance to the Mediterranean through the strait of the same name.

In the beginning the tourist adventure usually begins at its entrance, since its border with Spain through the crossing of the Line of Conception you must wait to enter on foot, although the airport is one of the options. Once inside the excitement begins with an initial tour of the Main Street having available the tourist buses that offer travel. With the help of a Gibraltar city map you can start the tour in Casemates Square, where you can coincide with the great festive and cultural offerings of this neuralgic point. The Rock of Gibraltar is ideal if you want to venture into the siege tunnels or St Michael’s Cave. Don’t miss the legendary Moorish Castle, however Gibraltar has a museum, gardens and a beautiful old town that you can combine with a good-natured commercial spirit.

Tourist Guide Gibraltar

Gibraltar’s rich history and nature means that you need excellent guidance on the most popular sites to get to know this tip of the peninsula from all sides. Gibraltar Tourist Guide is here to help you with all the information you need, in terms of the routes you should take, to get you through everything and leave nothing to be desired. Likewise we leave the hotel information, which like many tourists has been useful to break the routine of fleeting tourism, and have a great time both day and night given its excellent nightlife.

What to see in Gibraltar

Casemates square.

On the northern edge of the Main Street, Casemates Square is the largest common space in the old city centre and is a commonly used entry point for meetings, due to the varied number of dining rooms and cafes. Although it was inaugurated in the second decade of the 19th century, Moorish archaeological remains dating from the 10th century have been found. Although through many centuries it served as a merchandise center, many recreational and cultural activities take place here, including National Day celebrations, outdoor concerts and the famous Calentita Food Festival. Another site of interest in the extension of the main street is the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Santa Maria Coronada, in the Gothic style that used to be an ancient mosque.

The Europa Point

Europa Point is the southernmost tip of the Gibraltar region. This point is occupied by some buildings and a cricket pitch. There are 5 significant structures: the Europa Point Lighthouse, El Pozo de las Monjas, The Catholic Church of Our Lady of Europe and the Ibrahim-al-ibrahim Mosque. All of them contain a very rich historical value that form a great tour to do when visiting the city. At this geographical end, you can appreciate surprising views of the African continent through the Mediterranean Sea, as well as several Spanish cities on the sides of the coast. It’s an epic uphill walk to Europa Point from the city centre, so it’s best to take the number 2 bus, which leaves every 10 minutes.

the Rock of Gibraltar

Using Gibraltar’s famous cable car, you can reach the top of the impressive rock massif in a matter of minutes. At an altitude of 412 metres, an incredible view awaits you, as well as the famous stump monkeys. Gibraltar is well known for its primates, the only apes that naturally live on the European continent. There is an old story that if primates ever disappear from Gibraltar, the British will have the same fate, but with over 200 animals living protected in the area, it is unlikely. The best place to see them is in the Gibraltar Nature Reserve at the top of the Rock. Although the monkeys are less than 1 metre long, you should be careful as these animals are wild.

Gibraltar Nature Reserve

The Gibraltar Nature Reserve is an area that was formed for the protection of natural and historical sites and for the preservation of wildlife. It is home to the Forbes Quarry where significant archaeological finds have been made since the mid 9th century. It covers about 2.70 square kilometers of the territory. Its rock is home to a population of more than 250 stump monkeys, red foxes, mouse-eared bats, the funnel-web spider, 5 species of lizards and 6 species of snakes. The views from the top, to the north, are of Spain and to the south, of Africa, including the rugged silhouette of the Atlas Mountains.

St Michael’s Cave

Gibraltar’s most spectacular geological attraction is St Michael’s Cave. This is a series of limestone chambers and tunnels so deep; it was once believed that they ran under the Strait to Africa. It consists of an upper section that is linked to a lower level of concavities by drops of up to 45 metres. Beneath it, the narrowest tunnels descend to a depth of 62 meters. These impressive underground chambers were used for defensive purposes by the Moors and the Spanish. They were later converted, although never used, as a hospital during the Second World War. Today, the Cave Cathedral houses a 600-seat auditorium. The caves also have impressive stalagmites and stalactites.

The Siege Tunnels

It is perhaps the most important military command in the Mediterranean. The siege tunnels of Gibraltar are a miracle of human ingenuity. Their construction began towards the end of the great siege by order of the then governor of the territory, General Eliot, who built them as a means of installing firearms in the inhospitable terrain of the Rock. In the many sieges that Gibraltar faced in its history, the Great Siege lasted more than a thousand days. The United Kingdom was the winner because of these tunnels, on which the key batteries for victory could be mounted. When walking through these underground passages it is interesting to realize that most of them were hammered out by hand for years.

Botanical Gardens

Just 30 metres from the Rock, is located the Botanical Gardens of Gibraltar, also called the Alameda Gardens; it is an urban oasis of 6 hectares of extension that serves as a tourist resort for the recreation of its visitors. Gardens in labyrinths, arches and stone stairs, steel gates, statues, are some of its attractions, without leaving aside the wonderful collection of subtropical plants among which are: palms, daisies, wild olive, pine, climbing plants and vines, and so on. A wide variety of bird and bat species use the garden to forage and breed. Tourists can then admire the wildlife developing in its natural state. The garden is available to the public and its doors are open from early morning.

Museum of Gibraltar

The Museum of Gibraltar is dedicated to the rich cultural, military and natural history of its territory. It is located in the eastern part of the city, and in its well-organised spaces, you can learn about the different peoples who have occupied the Rock. From the time of the Carthaginians to the present you will have a historical view that justifies its unique atmosphere. The highlights of this excellent museum are the well-preserved 14th century Arab baths; these are the best maintained in Europe. It also has a scale model of the mountain set in 1865. Various exhibitions cover the geological origins of the rock, from Jurassic times to the present day. The museum boasts a collection of Roman ironwork, and a detailed gallery on the 18th century Great Asylum of Gibraltar.

The Moorish Castle

The old Moorish Castle is located in the historic centre of Gibraltar. It stands out in its elevated position, from where you can see Casemates Square. Originally built in the 8th century and rebuilt in the 14th century, part of the castle has been given up over time. Although the remaining parts, including a large entrance, some masonry elements and a tower, are the living narrative of its former glory. Its scarred and battered exterior speaks of the many battles this formidable structure has seen. The Homage Tower is, in fact, the tallest Islamic work still standing on the peninsula. Because of its location, it is one of the first things you notice when you cross the border into Gibraltar from Spain.

The Irish Quarter

The original Irish residents were probably Irish women who came to Gibraltar in the mid 18th century. It is speculated, that they were sent to provide female company for the troops. The neighbourhood is now the location of a synagogue, a primitive meat establishment, old warehouses and a number of merchants, an example of which is the cafeteria in Sacarello. In the period when Gibraltar was Spanish, the main street of the Irish Mud was called Calle de Santa Ana. Many of the elegant buildings in the Irish Quarter that we see today date from the extensive reconstruction carried out in the early 19th century. Since then it has established itself as one of the most fashionable parts of Gibraltar.

The Old Town

One of the most curious and even surreal parts of Gibraltar is its old town; it occupies the north-west corner of the territory and is only a 15 minute walk from the airport. A network of narrow streets that surround Main Street, is a portion of England under the sun. Top-notch shops like Debenhams and traditional British bars make you feel like you’re in the UK. But the unique blend of architecture and the pristine blue sky reminds you that you are in the Mediterranean. Casemates Square is the main outdoor space in the neighborhood; it has many sunny terraces for a splendid view accompanied by good food and drink. A charming area where you can find many places to go or to go out and snoop around.

Map of hotels in Gibraltar

If you are looking for an adventure that will take you into the night and enjoy an excellent peninsular sunrise, in our map of hotels Gibraltar we offer all the options. Whatever the location you are sure to find a hotel that will give you the wonderful views that this piece of land offers. Hotel O’Callaghan Eliott is our recommendation, as it is located in the most active urban area of the peninsula. Its proximity to the botanical gardens and the Moorish castle makes it attractive for those who want to have the best attractions at hand, just steps away from a cozy bedroom with balconies and excellent room services characteristic of this hotel.
