Gibraltar Destination Guide

Gibraltar has seen many renovations and developments over the last few years, with the development of the marinas and tourist areas. The variety of heritages and cultures in Gibraltar have brought an interesting twist to the international cuisine that may be found in Gibraltar's many restaurants.

The enormous Rock of Gibraltar home to the Barbary apes is a renowned attraction and a must to visit at least once in a life time. St Michael's Caves with its stunning array of stalactites and stalagmites provides one of the interesting stops on a Rock visit.

The views from Gibraltar overlooking the Straits of Gibraltar, North Africa and Spain - a joining of two continents - is a sight to behold. It is even possible to take a day trip to Tangiers in North Africa from the marina. The Rooftop Restaurant at the O'Callaghan Eliott Hotel overlooks the Straits and is one of the best areas from which to enjoy this unrivalled view.

Gibraltar has the added advantage of being a tax free shopping destination. The O'Callaghan Eliott is located right beside the Main Street shopping area with its discount bargain prices. And on a break from a shopping trips, guests may enjoy the nearly all year round sun from the Rooftop Pool and Sun Deck located on the top floor of the O'Callaghan Eliott Hotel.
