Totally worth a side trip if you are in southern Europe. We did it as kind of a 1/2 day trip from our condo up near Malaga. Take the gondola to the top. It's a bit pricey--11.50 euros--but worth it for the views and to see apes. They'll come right up to you. We have some of our best pics... more

First off, this is a confusing listing. There are listings for the Hotel included here, which are negative. The attraction of The Rock of Gibraltar, on the other hand, seems to get positive reviews. I'm here for the latter. The Rock of Gibraltar is great! It's far more than just the symbol of an insurance company. The views of Africa... more

I loved the tour we had of the Rock, we took one of the many mini bus tours up. We stopped first at Hercules Pillars and had some great views of Africa across the Starights. We then headed up to the caves, as we approached the monkeys decended on us. Our guide told us that these ones were know as... more

Three nights at the Rock Hotel. An oasis in a busy world - it was for us. Despite a power cut after an unseasonably early thunderstorm, there was a hot breakfast, and hot water in the shower. One of the few places I have been that I would go back to. The room was large and comfortable, and the beds... more

If you are used to only seeing caged animals, walking around the Upper Rock and interacting with the golden tailless monkeys will be a trip highlight! We laughed and laughed as they jumped on cars and people. To get an idea of what you're in for, go to YouTube and search for "Barbary Apes of Gibraltar." I can't imagine anyone... more

Spent 2 days in Gib. On the first day, went with the easy option and took the cable-car there and back. It was about 18 euro's per person, if I remember rightly? Ride took about 5-6 minutes in each direction with stunning views of the bay once you reach the top. It was a clear day and we could see... more

For me, the best to visit the rock and explore all its attractions is buying a tour and you can get all the places, because you are not allowed to enter in the natural park with your own car. We departed from Trafalgar Cemetery and our tour cost 25€ and took about 2 ou 3 hours and, I'm not sure,... more

I booked The Rock hotel, as I was getting married in Gibraltar, and after checking its website, thought it looked perfect, how wrong I was!! We arrived at the hotel, and could'nt believe from the outside that this was the 4 star hotel I had booked and what they call an "Oasis in a busy world"! The paint work from... more

I have stayed at the Rock Hotel 4 times, most recently with my 2 year old twins. The hotel has beautiful public rooms with an outstanding view over the sea out towards The Rif mountains in Morocco and also to Spain. The staff are exceptionally friendly (and made plenty of allowances for the runabout twins, even though many of the... more
