Despite its diminutive size, this tiny island is a renowned tourist destination with over ten million visitors per year – and it’s not hard to see why.
Gibraltar boasts unrivalled magnificence, mysterious caves, extraordinary history, and some unique species of wildlife found nowhere else in Europe!
Its small size also means it’s ideal for those looking for a two-to-three-day vacation since you can easily see everything here within that time.
One of the island’s main attractions is the resident troop of Barbary Macaques that like to hang around on a rocky outcrop in the Upper Rock Nature Reserve.
There is also the spectacular Saint Michael’s Cave for those who love geology and exploring caves in general.
If you’re into history, be sure to check out the Great Siege Tunnels and Moorish Castle – both of which are sights to behold!
