All you need to know about Gibraltar

Supplying breath-taking views of the neighbouring Spanish and Moroccan shorelines, Gibraltar is a British overseas territory and headland which is situated on the south coast of Spain. Known locally as The Rock, the area is only three square miles in size, however, due to the Rock of Gibraltar, its namesake, it manages to rise up 1,396 feet above sea level. Gibraltar has a lot in common with its next-door neighbour Spain, including the welcomed Mediterranean climate, which business travellers staying in serviced apartments in Gibraltar can benefit from and enjoy after a day of conferences and work events. Whether you are travelling on a short trip or long term stay, select one of our furnished apartments as your base to explore the peninsular.

Transport in Gibraltar

With everything in close proximity in Gibraltar, travelling around is easy to do by foot. However, if you are eager to head towards popular, historic landmarks or explore surrounding areas, purchasing an all-day pass for the bus service is a smart move. The buses travel to well-known landmarks such as Europa Point and Moorish Castle, and can take you from point A to point B quickly and efficiently. Alternatively, you can rent a car and travel at your own pace; just make sure you remember that although it is British territory, you need to drive on the right side of the road, European-style.

Shopping in Gibraltar

One thing that Gibraltar is actually underrated for is its shopping experience, with its independent retail culture and duty free status for visitors to enjoy. A must visit when staying in a serviced apartment in Gibraltar is the Gibraltar Crystal, a boutique crystal maker dating back to 1995 that offers guests the opportunity to commemorate their trip by purchasing a unique crystal. Additionally, there is an indoor public market which sells a range of local, Spanish and Moroccan produce for you to cook up a storm in your furnished apartment’s kitchen.

Things to do in Gibraltar

Unbeknownst to many, the Rock of Gibraltar actually possesses more than meets the eye, as the Great Siege Tunnels are housed within it. Duck and squeeze through the narrow spaces as you explore the history of Gibraltar and walk the same path that many did during the Great Siege of Gibraltar in 1779-83. If you are visiting from the UK and feeling a bit homesick when staying in one of our serviced apartments in Gibraltar, be sure to visit the Old Town. It is a true slice of England in the sun and is a network of picturesque lanes populated with British high-street stores and traditional pubs.

Facts about Gibraltar

Along the coastline of Gibraltar you will find twelve beaches with lengthy stretches of sand and blue waters, however, all twelve have not always been there. Back in 2014, the Sandy Bay beach was actually constructed to create a new recreational area for tourists and residents alike, and required 50,000 tonnes of sand from overseas. Tourists are not the only species that roam freely around the island, with their wild monkey population also causing trouble; make sure your backpack is sealed when exploring the nature reserve or you may find that one or two of your snacks have gone missing after!
