Descrizione

Explore the Rock of Gibraltar on a guided tour. Visit the 100-ton gun, Europa Point, St. Michael's Cave, Moorish Castle, the Top of the Rock and much more!
Begin your tour with a visit to the 100-ton gun. Only 4 of these guns were ever made to counter the firepower of the Italians, and only 3 remain. The other two can be found in Malta.

Following the coast round, we then visit Europa Point, with its spectacular views across the Strait of Gibraltar next to the southernmost Trinity lighthouse. The area is also home to the Sikorski Memorial.

We then go 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.

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.

Continue to the Windsor Suspension Bridge; there's nowhere quite like it for spectacular views over the city.

We shall then visit the Great Siege Tunnels so you can discover the vast defences that even the enemy was impressed by, all in a bid to get guns onto the north face of the rock: “These works are worthy of the Romans” - Duc de Crillon, the defeated Commander of the French and Spanish troops.

Then stop by Moorish Castle, its main tower dominating the hillside and landward approach to Gibraltar, a reminder of the rock's long history.

Finally, visit Catalan Bay, almost certainly Gibraltar's most historic beach and the landing point of the Genoese fishermen who came to Gibraltar in search of Tuna.
