Hello!
We will be in Gibraltar for one day on our cruise next month, and I'm seeking recommendations for easy to moderate energy level tours or activities, please. There are only a few options still available from our cruise line, and we aren’t sure how we want to plan our time in Gibraltar.
Thanks for any ideas you can share.
Laurie
There isn't really much to Gibraltar other than the Rock of which I found the war tunnels to be the most interesting aspect. There are plenty of tour guides touting for business outside passport control and I've taken two guided tours of the Rock using guides there, one was good whilst the other was dreadful (regrettably I ignored my gut instinct about him).
What I did last time I was there on a cruise was to take a local bus down to The Europa Point Lighthouse, the WW2 Sikorski memorial
and the Shrine of Our Lady of Europe.
Then wandered back up the west side of the peninsula, where the locals live and went to the Europa Waterfall, calling into the Cathedral on the way back.
A low key sort of day, with various other sites and cemeteries of interest especially to a war historian like myself.
I'd been there before under my own steam on the coastal bus and done the usual tourist trail up the rock etc.
Several of the bus routes almost reach the port on their way to the bus station, and a day bus ticket on the comprehensive network is £6.60- https://www.gibraltarbuscompany.gi/bus-network-map/
When a cruise ship is in, the queues for the cable car can be very long, so a taxi tour as described above is a good option.
They will take you most of the way up, to the macaque feeding station (keep your hands on your bag), to the caves and some of the tunnels.
