Question 1

Do I need a visa or passport to visit from Spain?

Accepted Answer

EU citizens can cross using a national identity card, but non-EU visitors, including those from the United States, Australia, and Canada, must present a valid passport. The territory is not part of the Schengen Area, so a passport stamp is typically issued on entry.

Question 2

Can I use euros in Gibraltar?

Accepted Answer

Euros are accepted at many tourist-facing shops and restaurants, but the exchange rate offered is usually unfavourable. British Pounds and Gibraltar Pounds are the recommended currencies for the best value.

Question 3

How long does it take to see the main sights?

Accepted Answer

A focused day trip of eight to ten hours is sufficient to cover the Upper Rock highlights, including the cable car, macaques, St. Michael's Cave, and the Siege Tunnels. Allowing two days provides a more relaxed pace and time for a dolphin-watching excursion.

Question 4

Are the Barbary macaques safe to approach?

Accepted Answer

The macaques are wild animals and can bite or scratch if they feel threatened or if food is visible. Feeding the macaques is prohibited and carries a fine. Observing them at a respectful distance and securing all bags is strongly advised.

Question 5

What is the best way to travel from Malaga to Gibraltar?

Accepted Answer

The most convenient option is a rental car, with the journey taking approximately 90 minutes via the AP-7 motorway. Alternatively, a direct bus service operates from Malaga bus station to La Linea de la Concepcion, from which the border crossing is a short walk.
