It's worth a vist to see the mosque and the only light house that's operated by Trinity House outside the UK. There's a nice play park there for young children and a lot of work has gone into building the pedestrian area. On a clear day the mountains in Morocco are visible and you then realise just how close Gibraltar... More

I particularly wanted to visit Europa Point but it was rather a let-down. There seems to be a large 'renovation' going on and there was no cafe and The Last Shop in Europe has completely disappeared. Lots of new paving but not much else! More

You can take photos of the rock, lighthouse,Shrine of our Lady of Europa and the coasts of Spain and Africa. There is a tourist information which is better stocked then the one in Casemates Square. Could not see anywhere to eat or drink, so you might want to go prepared! More

Visited in may on a day trip from the Costa del sol. Unfortunately by the time we got the clouds had set in and we couldn't see anything but the light house . Like others have said there isn't a lot to do there and if you get a bad day its probably not worth the visit More

We visited Gibraltar for a day whilst holidaying in Torremolinos. My husband had wanted to go back after being based there on and off whilst serving in the Navy some 20+ years earlier. We had hired a car so getting around the island was not a problem. After visting Main Street and the top of the rock, we decided to... More

Big improvements since last year - most of the old buildings have been knocked down, bur apart from looking out to sea, nothing to do. There is a cafeteria but has yet to open since it was built. More

Went up onto the rock for the day while on holiday just an hour away. Amazing views over to Africa from this vantage point...it's amazing how close it looks. A bit wind swept up there even on the sunny day it was. Well worth a look though. More

Made it worth the trip to GBZ. There's also an interesting Mosk at the point. I don't recommend the backside of the rock - but hey, if you want to see what they do with their trash - adds a little reality to the visit. More
