Rock of Gibraltar

Very historic place, a lot of battles had place here.Great view give you amazing opportunity to see another continent! And sure, those wonderful monkeys,will never fail to make you smile!

Took a Taxi tour in a 8 passenger van up to the top. The driver was great. He narrated all the important parts and answered questions in 4 languages. He stopped several times allowing us to get out and take pictures, stretch, walk around. Each stop was for 15-20 minutes.
The total cost of the 2+hour trip up and down the rock was 25 euros per person. The day my daughter and I took the tour the weather was unbelievably great. 10 out of 10.
Easily could see Tangier & beyond.

The next day we took the ferry over to Morocco and spent half day walking around Tangier, Beautifu
city with its white plaster home & building architecture and the unique blue waters of the Mediterranean as a backdrop. And every one so friendly & gracious, too. Highly recommend visiting, even for half a day-Well worth the time & money. Auto-ferry was under 40 euros round trip, per person, and took about 45 minutes each way crossing the strait. Last ferry returns for Gibraltar at 9pm.

For me personally, visiting & getting to the top of Gibraltar was a life long dream, on par with my climb up to the summit of Uluwu (ayers rock) in central Australia. And trekking the full length along the edge of the Cliffs of Maher in Ireland.

We visited this place during our stay in Spain. Amazing views. I was charmed by the monkeys that live there. One of the best places we have ever seen. I definitely recommend it.

Very nice view spot if you can do hiking, cause there are lots of stairs & trails if you want to see main attractions on the Rock of Gibraltar.
There is an option to get here by cable car (19 pounds one way and 36 both ways per person).
If you decide to hike, there are entrances to the Gibraltar National Park (18 pounds per person, includes all the attractions on the Rock of Gibraltar: suspended bridge, tunnels, sky walk above the cliff, ex. batteries).
The wheelchair accessibility is possible only by cable car, and still you will not be able to see much, cause all the attractions are far away from each other, spread all over the cliff.
There is an option to come here by car too. Your own or organized by the service instead of cable car (25 euro both ways per person).
Besides the prices, the view over the city & Atlantic Ocean is not too picturesque cause there are only multi stored buildings, the view over the Mediterranean sea is very beautiful with high cliffs, but you need to hike to see it, no wheelchair accessibility.

Very nice and interesting. The rock of Gibraltar just rocked my way to see things. Congratulations to the Great Creator, God the Magnificent Architect.

A dream come true! Amazing nature, breathtaking views, and lots of fun being so close to so many monkeys. Though there was lots of walking, especially for a child, this is one of the most memorable experiences ever.

I drove into the island, passing border control. Finding parking was hectic also pricey. At one point, I found a parking lot on a hill near a packed restaurant. Then I walked to a shuttle stop. It would help if you took their tour bus to get to the rock. Otherwise it was a long steep walk. It was a beautiful experience. There were lots of monkeys doing their thing on the top of the rock. The view was spectacular. It was a little chilly up there. It was a Sunday; everything else was closed except the rock. At the bottom, the island was filled with restaurants, shopping centers, and souvenir shops. They use British currency.

I have wanted to climb the rock of Gibraltar ever since I first heard about it years ago. So for me, my visit was highly anticipated. The Rock did not disappoint! There is a term called a “numinous experience” which describes the psychological phenomenon of feeling connected to and influenced by a higher power (think looking up at the night sky or gazing over a giant canyon). Now I’m not a religious person by any means, but I had multiple of these today.

The vistas were immaculate, and the sheer epic scale of the Rock—its caverns, its cliffs—truly stunned.

£18 gets you total access to the nature preserve, the caverns, war tunnels, and all the stairs you could ever want. Definitely worth it.

Mind the monkeys! They can get handsy if they see an abandoned bag or open food.

IMPORTANT: I hiked from sea to peak and it is not for the faint of heart. I’m 26 and in good shape. I had to push myself. It is steep and it is persistent. There’s more than one way up (and down), however. If you’re less inclined to hoof it, there are plenty of taxis, buses, and even a gondola that will take you into the nature preserve.

The view is incredible! You can visit taking the cable (and pick the package you want) or a few tour options you will find before you climb the rock. A lot of walking will be involved but super worth it. The views from all the sides and levels are amazing. Many natural stops that you can purchase to visit, such as: caves, tunnels, bridges and castle.

The rock is just amazing. I mean where else in Europe do you have the opportunity to get so close to monkeys. Also, the view is great, you can see Spain, Africa, the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean at the same time. The nature is also very nice up there, you can have a nice walk and just enjoy the view and the nature. But there are also so many sights and things to see, the cave is really great! Just a tip: it is very doable to walk down the rock, so you can save some Euros/pounds and buy the one way ticket instead. It is even recommended to walk down as you need to go downhill anyways for some of the sights and then going upwards again would be too exhausting.

A must if in the region. Excellent views and the tight roads are an experience.
Everything is in sterling. So a bit more expensive than Spain.

There are cable cars to the top, and tours are an option. If afraid of heights, beware.

Amazing experience. I've been up a few times now, and it never disappoints. Unless you're not able to walk comfortably, there's no need for a bus tour or the cable car. Be mindful of people who sell these tickets as they rip you off, especially if you're a tourist, but you can expect this anywhere. Entry is £16/pp card only, I never had to pay separately for different routes, all is included. Do not touch the monkeys. There's clear sign everywhere what to do or don't do with them. Some people don't respect it, and that's when they get their stuff nicked etc. The nature trail is the quietest of them all, and you avoid walking along the road. If you have some common sense and like hiking you'll have a great time!

Saw it well from the cable car ending point. Where by the way the macaques are living.

We visited the place in the afternoon about 16 p.m. It was quite hot so the apes were mostly chilling in the shadow and didn't care about the tourists at all. But if you unzipped your bag they slightly followed the situation with their eyes.
Later one of them stole a pack of biscuits from a stroller. So if you don't want them to "attack" don't bring any snacks. They don't harm anyone just on to the food.

We have done the rock with a guided tour! Recommended if u only have one day! The history of this place! Its a pitty the World War 2 museum was closed! Beware of the monkeys!

Must see and must visit up to the top. We got a tour to different points making our way up to the top seeing the Hurcules pillar, tunnels, skywalk and monkeys. Monkeys are friendly, they may come and touch you a little and you are recommend not to take any plastic bags or foods they can nab off you. But was very fascinating to see them eat and wonder about the rock. Great views also of Gibraltar and looking out over to Africa.

Nice place with the special atmosphere .For half day visit ))

Definitely a unique place on the European continent, I recommend it. Especially interesting caves of Gibraltar. You can hike to the very top of the mountain (3 hours), but do not carry anything tasty with you, otherwise you will be robbed by robber monkeys))

Okay I have a lot to say.
1. If travelling by car, park at Santa Barbara and walk in.
2. Remember to bring your passport!
3. Pay for everything in Stirling £
4. Gibraltar is Tax Free so bring a big Rucksack!5. I highly recommend the breakfast at The Square Cafe
6. I also seriously recommend dinner at Little Rock Cafe (The Fillet Steak was awesome)
7. If you are going to visit the rock, pre book online and do everything.
8. If you have children under 14 years, they will struggle with the walking, it is a lot!
9. I will definitely come back within five years

Visited this place in March 2019, we stayed for 4 nights.
Rock Of Gibraltar if full of history.
It's definitely worth visiting Gibraltar 👍
To get ti the Rick of Gibraltar.
At the ticket of office you can purchase a ticket for the cable cars.
Or next to it you have people with tours by car.
We took the tour by car, which I would highly recommend.
Our driver Stefano was awesome 🙌💯
He was cool, had a lot of knowledge.
We managed to see all the main attractions up there.
By foot, it is alot to walk inbetween each attraction, so you might not see all of it. So bear that in mind.
All the main attractions are amazing.
And the views are just some else when you see it for yourself.
Be careful of what you wear around the macaque monkeys.
As we were entering back in the car, my wife had a fur coat on and one if the monkeys started grabbing it 🤦‍♂😂😂
Make Gibraltar a place to visit on your list 🙌💯

Great view,as always. That's my second time. I would never refuse the third one.
Pretty warm for the end of January. Lots of monkeys. Spectacular environment.
