Commonly referred to as 'the Rock', Gibraltar is located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula and enjoys a wonderful Mediterranean climate. This British Overseas Territory is one of 14 in the world and covers an area of 6.7km².
With one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, cruise companies often include Gibraltar as part of their itinerary. Don't be fooled by the size of this unique place as there is an abundance of things to see and do.
Europa Point provides views of the coast of Africa and the cable cars deliver an enviable route to the Upper Rock and Nature Reserve, home to the famous Barbary Macaque monkeys. For the more energetic, why not head back to ground level by The Mediterranean Steps and then head out on a short trip in the bay to admire different species of dolphin pods, so close you can almost touch them.
