Must see attractions: The first stop for any visitor to Gibraltar is the Rock of Gibraltar to say hello to the barbary apes and photograph the stunning views. For the best possible rock experience, travel to the top via hire car or the cable car, visit the caves, and then walk all the way down. At the bottom, wander through the lovely botanic gardens and maybe take in a movie at the nearby cinema.

Casemates Square is a hub of activity for food,

opportunities in Gibraltar because cigarettes, alcohol and top of the
range toiletries and perfumes are tax-free. If you want to try local
food, ask for the breakfast calentita and the pastry-free spinach pie.
Visit the mosque at Europa Point – the far end of Gibraltar,
overlooking Africa – and if you want to go to a beach, try heading to
the old-fashioned but lovely Caletta hotel. Alternatively, head to the
swim and sunbathing complex of Camp Bay in the South West – particularly
good for families – or walk over the border onto Spanish soil and head
right, following the road until you come to a long stretch of sandy
beach, popular with locals as well as tourists. For after-hours
entertainment, try the new marina area, or head over the border to
sample some excellent Argentinian steak and Spanish tapas.
