Gibraltar lines

Was in Gibraltar first week of June, on a bus tour, and don't remember any lines. Our bus parked on the Spanish side and we walked through and got on a tour bus on the Gibraltar side. The monkeys are so cute!

I'm not going to lie, we found Gibraltar to be sort disappointing. Just not that exciting. But maybe that's just us.

It's not just you. I find it particularly unexciting too. OK the monkeys on the rock are entertaining and the tunnels inside are interesting but that's it. For me it's like walking around the UK in the 80's only with better weather. I've been twice, once with the kids and again to take my parents as they wanted to visit, I have no desire to go again.

As for the lines, on both occasions the queues to cross the border in a vehicle were very long however I've parked on the Spanish side and crossed the border on foot with no hold ups.

Two posts here about not finding Gibraltar "exciting". I had no expectations of Gibraltar being exciting but I did find it and its history interesting, even fascinating. We visited on a day tour from Albufera and had only a few hours there so I would go again, if I could. A place needn't be "exciting" to be worth a visit.

It's not that I expected it to be exciting, I was simply using the phrase from the previous poster. Perhaps boring and very little of interest other than the points I mentioned would better describe it.

I was there end of April and there were long lines for cars getting into Gibraltar. Pleasant enough, a nice lunch, and taxi tour for the big sites for 20 or 25 pounds. Once may well be enough for me. The history was good, and the sheer physical feats of the British soldiers with tunneling and hauling equipment up the rock was impressive. It's far smaller than I expected, even after looking at the maps and various guidebooks.
so- walking across the border seems to be the key. YMMV.
