What to do and see in Gibraltar, Gibraltar: The Best Things to do Adventurous

January 11, 2022 Natalie Tallman

Rising up as an indomitable peak at the gateway between Spain and the African coast, Gibraltar is a unique destination with a life that goes beyond its surface. The monolithic Rock of Gibraltar entices tourists with its lush greenery and the friendly Barbary Macaques ubiquitous to the area. Beneath its looming exterior lay the Galleries, a veritable labyrinth of underground passageways running through the Rock. Above ground there is also plentiful tax-free shopping, as well as numerous beaches.

We did all 4 games during our 6 day stay in the Holiday Inn Express which is right next door - just a small door between some little industrial units, 10 mins walk from the main town. Travelling with teen boys, we found there weren’t so many things in Gibraltar that was of interest to them so this was the highlight of their trip, and not messed up in any way by Covid restrictions! We enjoyed and completed all the games, with only a few clues, and they’re suitable for beginners or experienced gamers alike. Some fun unique tasks and I liked that they generally flowed well so it wasn’t too difficult to work out which bit to do next. I’d definitely recommend!

Apes Den

Reviewed By MarmadukeBlue - Rolleston on Dove, United Kingdom

Took the Cable Car to the top of the Rock and was met by a family of apes as soon as I stepped off. The apes are very friendly but some people need to read the rules regarding feeding and should not be surprised when a troop takes great interest in them! This is a great way to spend a day up on the Rock as the Cable Car ticket price incorporates additional visits to the many attractions.

Mediterranean Steps

Though this walk is not fit for the out of shape, the Mediterranean Steps promise wondrous views to reward hikers who complete the climb.

Reviewed By Jaffa54 - Swansea, United Kingdom

Don't kid yourself that this is going to be a nice stroll! Walking up is for youngsters not retired people like me ( although I'm fit and go to the gym regularly), walking down is bad enough so beware. The path is irregular with loose stones, rocks as steps in places and wobbly rope hand rails in the most dogey places. If you are determined you want to walk it I suggest that you walk down it rather than up it as the view is the same. The entire route could be described as a big J as you land up walking up hill at either end with the steepest steps up the long climb to O'Haras's battery. If you just want to enjoy the view then just go straight to O'Haras's battery as that is the highest point on the rock and forget about the steps, if you decide to walk it take water and make sure you have good stout footwear on as well as making sure you have a mobile phone on you incase you twist your ankle or have something more serious happen to you. Last word on it is walking up the steps is a macho thing not a sensible thing - you've been warned!
