A cable car will whisk you to Gibraltar's Top Station for fabulous views. Don't miss the Barbary apes. You will see these tailless monkeys roaming free -- keep your possessions close, as they feel quite at liberty to help themselves to new toys.
Visit the Great Siege Tunnels carved out of solid limestone, and the first buildings ever constructed by the British in Gibraltar.
The City Under Siege exhibition is of great historical value. It depicts scenes of how the civilian population lived during some very hard times. The exhibit also tells many fascinating stories that have been passed down through generations about how the earliest British settlers in Gibraltar coped with life.
A drive through the Old Town will take you to Nelson's Anchorage and Europa Point.
Guests wishing to stay in town for duty-free shopping or to explore independently are welcome to do so but must make their own way back to the ship.
Notes:
The cable car is a popular attraction; expect delays. The cable car can close at short notice due to high winds, resulting in last-minute cancelation of the tour. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Participants can use a mobility aid to reach the transportation; then, it will be stored in the cruise terminal until the tour returns to the ship. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. Weather and atmospheric conditions vary; no guarantee is offered with regard to visibility or views on any particular day.
