Description
Explore the Rock of Gibraltar on a guided tour. Visit the Pillars of Hercules, St. Michael's Cave, the Skywalk, Princess Caroline's Battery, and the Top of the Rock.
Begin your tour with a visit to the Pillars of Hercules. Gaze across the bay and straits of Gibraltar while discovering why the Romans called Gibraltar “Mons Calpe”, “The hollow mountain”.
Next, head to St Michael's Cave, a magnificent cavern used during the First World War as an ammunition store and an emergency hospital due to its constant cool temperature. Nowadays, it is often home to cultural events and "The Awakening", an immersive visual installation.
Continue to the Skywalk, opened by Mark Hamil (Luke Skywalker) in 2018. Take in breathtaking views from the top of the rock.
Next, head to the Top of Rock/Barbary Apes. Take in the breathtaking views amongst the only wild Macaques in Europe, now a staple of Gibraltar.
Finally, visit Princess Caroline's Battery, arguably the best viewpoint in Gibraltar. Take in a 270-degree vista while discovering just how the battery was used in the Great Siege.
