From spectacular Top of the Rock views to laid-back beach days, from rich history and culture to tantalizing culinary experiences, Gibraltar has it all! Come and follow my footsteps and uncover the mystery of Gibraltar! 👣 🎒Preparation before traveling: • Visa: Don’t forget to apply for a UK visa! You can travel if you hold a UK visa of more than six months (either a tourist visa or a student visa). • Transportation planning: Check flight and ferry schedules in advance and plan your trip. From the UK, you can choose to fly, ferry or drive; from other European countries, flying or ferry are both good options. • Cash preparation: Taxis only accept cash, and it is more convenient to get change in pounds, so remember to bring more change! ⏰Time and weather tips: • Best time to go: All seasons are suitable, but the weather is more pleasant in spring and autumn. • Weather conditions: Gibraltar has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. Remember to bring appropriate clothing according to the season! 🎫Ticket and service information: • The Rock of Gibraltar: The cable car ticket price is reasonable and it is easy to reach the top for a bird’s-eye view. There are military relics on the top of the rock waiting for you to explore! • St. Michael's Grotto: The ticket price is affordable and the cave is rich in historical relics, so don't miss it! • Other attractions: such as Europa Point, Moorish Castle, etc., most of which are free or have affordable ticket prices. 🏞️Detailed description of attractions: • The Rock of Gibraltar: A 426-meter-high limestone cliff, home to Mediterranean macaques! Take the cable car to the top and overlook the city, with views of Spain and Morocco in the distance. It’s breathtaking! • St. Michael’s Grotto: Travel through time and space and experience Gibraltar’s military history and cultural heritage. The cave is cool and pleasant, a great place to escape the summer heat! • Europa Point: The southernmost point of Europe, with a lighthouse, a great spot for taking photos! • Atlantic Beach: golden sand, clear water, warm sunshine, enjoy the embrace of the waves! • Moorish Castle: A check-in spot for historical buildings, experience the ancient charm of Gibraltar! 🚗Transportation options and price routes: • From the UK: You can travel by plane, ferry or car, prices vary depending on the option. It is recommended to book in advance to enjoy preferential prices! • From other European countries: direct flight or ferry from the Spanish port of Algeciras. The ferry fare is affordable and you can enjoy the sea scenery! • Transportation in the city: It is recommended to walk around the city, and you can take the bus between attractions. Remember to prepare cash when you take the taxi! 🍱Details of local food, special types, prices, and times: • Small cafe: A small cafe at the end of the main street, selling cakes, muffins, bagels and everything in between! Smoothie and cake are their signature dishes. They are affordable and taste great! • Pasta Restaurant: A restaurant near Main Street that serves authentic pasta and lasagna! I especially recommend the Pil Pil Prawns, which are cooked in red wine and taste delicious! • Hacienda Zorita Viandas: Great place for an Iberian ham sandwich! Have one during breakfast time to start a full day! • Seaside restaurant: Duck bun is a crispy duck meat ball, with just the right amount of salty and sweetness, and the meat is tender! The seafood risotto and lamb pizza were generous in portion and tasted great! The price is moderate and the cost performance is very high! 🛍️Shopping Guide: • Shopping malls and markets: They bring together famous brands and specialty products from all over the world, and the tax-free policy makes shopping more cost-effective! Clothes, jewelry, watches, etc. are all available here.
