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.

Monthly Climate Averages for Gibraltar

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 excursions : Tours etc. offered by GetYourGuide and by Viator .

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.

Currency Converter

Communication:

Gibraltar residents speak English and Spanish. Free WiFi at the Burger King on the main square.

10 Best Things to Do in Gibraltar Cruise Port

Before I share the best things to do in Gibraltar, I invite you to grab your copy of the “ Mediterranean Cruise Port Guide” , the most comprehensive guide to 45 Mediterranean cruise ports (including Gibraltar) , packed with practical information, expert tips & unforgettable experiences! (PDF format/200 pages)

1. Rock of Gibraltar

Gibraltar is a densely populated place spreading over four square kilometers only (therefore is relatively easy to walk around on foot). The main highlight of the Gibraltar peninsula is the legendary Rock of Gibraltar which rises 426 m (1.398 feet) above sea level and dominates the Mediterranean Sea.

The Rock of Gibraltar was known in ancient times as one of two “Pillars of Hercules”, one of the two promontories that flanked the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar (the other one is Jebel Musa in Northern Africa).

A large part of the Upper Rock is covered by a nature reserve that is home to around 300 Barbary apes that you can see on the top. The Rock itself is an attraction, but there are also some other attractions and landmarks that you can visit on the Rock such as Europa Point, St. Michael’s Cave, Great Siege Tunnels, the Moorish Castle, etc.

How to Get to the Rock of Gibraltar?

There are several ways to climb the Rock of Gibraltar.

1. Rock of Gibraltar Cable Car Ride

The most popular option is to climb to the top of the Rock by cable car. The cable car base station is located at the foot of the Rock on Red Sands Road (at the south end of Main Street), approximately 30 minutes walking distance from Gibraltar Port. A taxi ride to get there takes around 10 minutes.

But beware! It can get very crowded and lines can be long at the base station! The cable car ride to the top is quite short (around 6 minutes), each cable car carries around 30 passengers and there is a limited number of them, so you might experience some waiting.

At the Cable Car Top Station, visitors can meet the famous Barbary apes and enjoy a breathtaking view of two continents (Europe and Africa), the Atlantic Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea.

It is advisable to book the cable car tickets in advance. Cruise lines also offer Rock of Gibraltar shore excursions and I strongly suggest you pre-book your tour as the spaces are limited. Check out Gibraltar Cable Car Ride tours and activities

Once you come to Gibraltar, you will be able to find taxi drivers everywhere (that’s only if you decide to go to the Rock. If not, most of them won’t agree to take you to the town as it’s reachable on foot within few minutes).

If you are coming with a cruise ship, usually they wait for you in front of the terminal area. Sometimes, they can accommodate up to 8 people, so don’t be confused if they put you together with another group. Try to negotiate the price in advance. Bear in mind that the Rock is not far and the ride is quite short!

If you are ready to do some sports and have enough time (and you are in good shape!), you can hike through Gibraltar Nature Reserve which covers most of the Upper Rock part.

Several safe trails will take you to the top and once you start your way up, you will be greeted by Barbary apes who will be more than happy to pose for a photo (but here you have to be careful because they can take your camera away!).

If you decide to climb the Rock on foot, make sure you have enough water and comfortable shoes ! And don’t forget a good camera , as monkeys really enjoy posing!

4. Public Bus

Public buses are going to almost all parts of the Rock. They are quite cheap and easy to get, so if you are not limited with time – this is one of the most convenient ways to visit the Rock.

To get to the Rock, you can take bus route #10 at North Mole Road and get off at Boyd Street Terminus (near Trafalgar Cemetery). The bus ride takes around 10 minutes one way.

The buses in Gibraltar are small and comfortable, and drivers can be very friendly and informative which will make your ride even more enjoyable.

However, if you are traveling on a cruise ship, I don’t recommend taking a bus because it can be time-consuming.

5. Shore Excursion

If you are coming to Gibraltar for the first time, the best way to explore the Rock is on a guided shore excursion which will allow you to learn about the Rock’s history, its flora and fauna, and in the company of a licensed tour guide who will point you the main places of interest.

Check out Rock of Gibraltar tours and activities

2. Meet Barbary Apes

Besides historical landmarks, breathtaking views, and fascinating nature, one of the main Rock of Gibraltar attractions is the  Barbary macaque , a tailless monkey species native to Morocco. At the Cable Car top station, you will meet a lot of these permanent Gibraltar residents whose population is constantly growing.

Spread on three terraces located at the top of the Rock, tailless Barbary apes will gladly welcome you to their territory. This unique monkey species is the only wild monkey population in Europe. They live in freedom and according to the official statistics, there are around 300 of them in the Upper Rock area of the Gibraltar Nature Reserve.

Although they seem to be cute and friendly, you need to be cautious and treat them with respect as they are wild animals. It is strictly forbidden to feed them or get too close as they can bite you or take your stuff away!

3. St. Michael’s Cave

A 20-minute walk downhill from the Cable Car top station, you walk right into the Nature Reserve. Along your way, you will spot numerous monkeys either on the trees or on the top of taxis, in company with their best friends – taxi drivers.

The path 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.

It is relatively easy to walk around the cave, but if you have trouble walking – it’s advisable to stay at the Upper Hall where a lot of seats are available.

If you come down to the lower chambers, there will be steps to climb and those can be slippery. One of the recommendations is to take a tour with a guide, as the cave boasts a rich history and interesting stories about the origin of its stunning formations.

The admission ticket to St Michael’s Cave is included in the Gibraltar Upper Rock Nature Reserve Ticket.

Check out St Michael’s Cave tours and activities

4. Gibraltar National Museum

If you want to learn about the history of Gibraltar, the best place to do it is at the Gibraltar National Museum, located in the city center approximately a 25-minute walk from Gibraltar port.

The ticket includes entry to all galleries, impressive 14th-century Moorish baths, archeological excavations in the garden, and all temporary exhibitions. Visit Gibraltar National Museum’s official webpage for more information.

5. Europa Point

The famous Europa Point (Punta Europa) is located at the southernmost point of Gibraltar’s peninsula and is known for its 19th-century Trinity Lighthouse. You can see Morocco and Spain from there on a clear day.

There are 5 notable landmarks at Europa Point: Harding’s Battery ;  Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque (also known as King Fahad Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Mosque) inaugurated in 1997; the 15th-century Shrine of Our Lady of Europe, a Roman Catholic Church; the Europa Point Lighthouse (known as the Trinity Lighthouse) dating from 1841; and the Nun’s Well , an ancient underground water reservoir.

Admission is free for all Europa Point attractions.

Check out Europa Point tours and activities

6. Great Siege Tunnels

Great Siege Tunnels of Gibraltar are part of the Upper Rock Nature Reserve and one of the main attractions of Gibraltar.

They were carved out by the Merchant Marines to defend Gibraltar during one of its numerous sieges – the Great Siege of Gibraltar which lasted from 1779 to 1783.

This was the 14th siege of Gibraltar (unsuccessful one!) led by the Spanish and French troops against the British Army during the War of the American Revolution.

Great Siege Tunnels make up part of a 55 km (34 miles) long tunnel system constructed over nearly 200 years, mainly by the British Army. Great Siege Tunnels admission ticket is included in the Gibraltar Upper Rock Nature Reserve Ticket.

Check out Gibraltar Tunnels tours and activities

7. “City Under Siege” Exhibition

This exhibition is usually part of almost all Gibraltar tunnel tours and is located only 500 meters away from the Great Siege Tunnels.

This authentic exhibition shows how people and soldiers in the fortress survived the most difficult and tragic moments of the siege during the 4 long years. The exhibition is housed in two old buildings dating from the early 18th century.

The first one is known as Willis’s magazine and was used for the storage of gunpowder, while the second magazine offers a visual presentation of the Great Seige of Gibraltar.

8. Moorish Castle

Moorish Castle is a medieval fortification in Gibraltar that consists of diverse buildings, gates, and fortified walls, dominated by the Tower of Homage and the Gate House.

The castle complex is located on the top of the hill on the Rock of Gibraltar, in the vicinity of the “City Under Siege” exhibition, Queen Charlotte’s Battery and World War II Tunnel.

The admission ticket is included in the Gibraltar Upper Rock Nature Reserve Ticket.

Check out Moorish Castle tours and activities

9. Gibraltar Downtown

If you decide to stay downtown and skip the Rock, you’ll have a great time as the town is lively and packed with shops, bars, restaurants, and friendly people.

Gibraltar is very British and in the town center, you’ll find many red telephone booths and fish and chips restaurants. You should also try some seafood – it’s absolutely delicious and very local!

Some of the town’s highlights include the Main Street promenade, the Gibraltar National Museum, Holy Trinity Cathedral, Commonwealth Park, The Convent (Governor’s Residence), King’s Chapel Anglican Church, Trafalgar Cemetery, Gibraltar Botanic Gardens, Alameda Wildlife Park (a zoo) among others.

The town center is also very cheap, so if you are planning on buying perfumes, watches, or some fancy alcohol bottles – do it in Gibraltar as the place is VAT-free jurisdiction.

10. Dolphin Watching Adventure

There is an exciting activity for adventure seekers and animal lovers – dolphin-watching excursions that are suitable for families and kids of all ages.

There are 3 species of dolphins in the Bay of Gibraltar, and if you are into these wonderful mammals, you have a chance to see them swimming in their natural habitat! These boat tours usually last around 1.5-2 hours and you get to cruise along the Strait of Gibraltar and admire the stunning views of the Rock and the coast.

Pillars of Hercules

By the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar stands a grand structure with two pillars flanking a large medallion that says “The Modern World” on one side and “The Ancient World” on the other. Historically, the actual Pillars of Hercules refers to the two promontories flanking the entrance to the strait.

Top things to do in gibraltar, walk around europa point.

The southernmost point of Gibraltar, Europa Point, is located toward the end of the Rock of Gibraltar. Admire the picturesque red-and-white lighthouse while soaking in views of the sea.

Explore Upper Rock Nature Reserve

If you want to see some of Gibraltar’s nature beyond the Rock of Gibraltar, then head to the Upper Rock Nature Reserve. There you’ll find natural and man-made attractions nestled into the backdrop of the great outdoors, including St. Michael’s Cave, the Apes’ Den, the Great Siege Tunnels, and Nelson’s Anchorage. Other highlights include the Military Heritage Center and the Moorish Castle. Adding to the Upper Rock Nature Reserve’s intrigue are its 600 plant species and large variety of birds, many of which migrate from Africa or other regions of Europe.

Visit the Apes’ Den

Located within the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, the Apes’ Den is home to around 160 tailless Barbary macaques who frolick near the cable car station. In summer, you’ll often see baby primates in the area. It is believed the apes were introduced to the area in the 18th century by travelers from North Africa. They even play a part of local folklore that says when the apes vanish from Gibraltar, so will the British.

Top Food and Drink Spots Near the Gibraltar Cruise Port

Gibraltarian cuisine is a fusion of many different cultures, including British and Spanish. Other Mediterranean countries like Malta, Portugal, and Italy also lend culinary influences to the food scene of Gibraltar. Look for restaurants serving up a type of quiche made from chickpea flour called calentita and panissa. Spinach tortillas, a baked pasta dish called fideos al horno, and a dish called rolitos that combines thin slices of beef with breadcrumbs, eggs, vegetables, and other ingredients are popular local dishes to try during cruises to Gibraltar.

Culture & History of the Gibraltar Cruise Port

Gibraltar’s place in history mostly began in 711 AD when the Almohad Muslims established a town after the Muslim legislative leader of Tangier, Tariq ibn Ziyad, invaded with a troop of over 10,000 men. The Rock of Gibraltar was named after this leader, which means Mountain of Tariq. The Almohad Muslims ruled Gibraltar until they lost power to the Castillans in 1462. In 1704, Spain surrendered Gibraltar to the UK during the Treaty of Utrecht. It’s been a part of the UK ever since, though Spain did try to recapture it during the Great Siege of 1779 to 1783.

Gibraltar has been a stronghold for the British navy because of the fortitude of its geographical position and its proximity to the Strait of Gibraltar, which is the only waterway that connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. Gibraltar is a self-governing territory of the United Kingdom and has its own parliament. Its people claim multiple backgrounds, ethnicities, and religions, but share a common culture that thrives on its blend of Mediterranean lifestyle with Great Britain influences. Tolerance and acceptance are common themes of the culture here, as is a strong pride for being a British territory.

Gibraltar Port Facilities & Location

The port terminal for cruises to Gibraltar has a number of onsite amenities, including a tourist information office, a bar and cafeteria, and gift shops selling arts and crafts. Ships that sail Gibraltar cruise itineraries will conveniently drop passengers off just under a mile from the center of town, which takes about 15 minutes to walk to.

Transportation in Gibraltar

If you’d like to take public transportation during your Gibraltar cruise port of call, local buses are the way to go, which connect to the area’s main attractions. Bus 2 goes to Europa Point, bus 3 takes you to the southern part of town, buses 4 and 8 travel to Catalan Bay, and bus 5 goes to the border. Taxis and shuttles are available outside the pier to take you into town if you don’t wish to walk.

Shopping Near the Gibraltar Cruise Port

For those on cruises to Gibraltar who are looking to shop in the city, head to Main Street. In the area around Casemates Square, you’ll find numerous shops as well as an indoor public market, where you can buy local souvenirs or fresh produce. Gibraltar’s main street is also home to Debenhams, a well-known British department store. 

Popular souvenirs to get from Gibraltar include watches and jewelry, since they’re often found at a great deal, as well as local products such as handicrafts and glass creations. Crystals are commonly sold in the city and make for a fun souvenir. In addition to souvenirs, visitors to Gibraltar often stock up on tobacco and liquor products, since they are tax-free and often less expensive than in other destinations.

Local Currency & Tipping Customs

The local currency is the Gibraltar Pound, which typically converts similarly to the rate of the British pound sterling. Many businesses will also accept the euro, though it’s best to double check first. If you need cash, you’ll find ATMs outside the banks in town. For tipping, follow customs of Great Britain, which usually means leaving a 10% tip for restaurant service. Tipping isn’t expected at bars or cafes if you’re just ordering drinks.

Gibraltar (U.K.) Gibraltar

The Port of Gibraltar is located on a peninsula at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea. Its strategic location, where you can see the shore of Morocco on the other side and the gigantic rocky cape, named the Rock, has made this British territory a very important defense post. You can visit the tunnels dug in “the Rock” to better understand its military vocation. This territory is so small that a road crosses the runway of its airport.
