Gibraltar Airport Guide
There’s plenty to see and do in Gibraltar and much of it is quite unique. Take a tour through the siege tunnels to see where the people hid during the ‘Great Siege’. The energetic amongst you may like to climb the hundreds of steps that wind up the east side of the rock to the top. If you don’t fancy the climb, take the cable car for equally spectacular views from the top. Finally, walk out to Europa Point where officially the Med meets the Atlantic and from where you can see Africa.

Hotels Near Gibraltar Airport
Gibraltar has many smart hotels and we’d recommend you take a look at the Elliot Hotel on Governor’s Parade or the Rock Hotel where John Lennon and Yoko Ono married. The Emile Youth Hostel is nice but expensive for a hostel at 20 euros a night.
