Perched at the very tip of Spain, the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar is one totally unique and gorgeous place to visit. Even though it’s relatively small, there’s a heap of the best things to do in Gibraltar dotted all around the rock.  

This all makes it a perfect place to visit if you’re on a day trip from Spain, or a wider holiday to Gibraltar itself.

However long you choose, I want to share some of the top places to visit once you arrive. This way, the only thing you’ll need to worry about are those pesky monkeys! 

Have an amazing time visiting Gibraltar.

1.) Dolphin boat tour

One of the great things about Gibraltar is that it’s fully surrounded by the gorgeous Mediterranean Sea. This all means that there are a heap of wildlife, including dolphins that frequent the shores and the wider Strait of Gibraltar.

Make sure to book this Gibraltar dolphin tour before arriving. This four-hour tour is totally incredible from start to finish.  Just be sure to book ahead because believe me when we say that it is a popular activity that gets filled up.

Onboard, you’ll have a spotter and a qualified skipper that will take you to some of the dolphin’s favourite spots. Not only that, you’ll even get to see the views of nearby Morocco and the coastline as you surf the strait.

2.) Gibraltar Skywalk

You have not been to Gibraltar unless you have walked across the Gibraltar Skywalk. Well, obviously you have but it’s one of the best things to do in Gibraltar for views.

Trust me, the views from the Gibraltar Skywalk are spectacular. In fact, you’ll be able to see the continent of Africa and across to Spain whilst overlooking the area. 

Now, the glass floor can be a bit daunting if you’re scared of heights. That being said, the glass has been tested and can hold the weight of over 300+ people. 

Afterwards, head over to Amar’s Kosher Bakery for some of the best coffee and tasty pastries.
