One ticket. 17 attractions.

Almost everything worth seeing in Gibraltar is on the Upper Rock, and almost all of it sits behind a single gate. The caves, the tunnels, the castle, the Skywalk, every trail and the apes — one purchase, around £45 for an adult.

The single most useful thing to understand about visiting Gibraltar is that you are buying one ticket, not seventeen.

Sites are sold and marketed individually all over the internet, which leaves people believing they need to budget separately for the cave, the tunnels and the Skywalk. They do not. The Nature Reserve ticket admits you to everything inside the reserve boundary, and once you are through the gate there is nothing further to pay.

The two things it does not cover are the cable car, which is a separate operator with its own fare, and anything on the water. Everything else on this page is included.

Routes, by how long you have

The reserve is bigger and steeper than it looks on a map. These are what actually fits.

2 hours

Off a ship, back on board by lunch
  1. Top of the Rock
  2. →The Barbary Macaques
  3. →The Skywalk

Taxi tour up, the essentials at the top, taxi back down. With the cable car closed until 2027 this is the only way to see the top in two hours. Do not attempt the tunnels as well.

Half a day

The standard cruise or day-trip window
  1. The Barbary Macaques
  2. →St Michael's Cave
  3. →The Skywalk
  4. →Great Siege Tunnels

Add the cave and one tunnel system. Choose the Great Siege Tunnels over the WWII Tunnels if you only do one — they are older and stranger.

A full day

Staying the night, or an unhurried day trip
  1. The Mediterranean Steps
  2. →O'Hara's Battery
  3. →St Michael's Cave
  4. →The Skywalk
  5. →Windsor Suspension Bridge
  6. →Great Siege Tunnels
  7. →WWII Tunnels
  8. →The Moorish Castle

Walk up the Mediterranean Steps in the morning while it is cool, then work north along the ridge. The cable car is closed until 2027, so plan a taxi or the road for the way down.

Getting in

  • Cable car — closed since November 2025 for a full rebuild, back in 2027. Sites still selling tickets for it are selling you nothing.
  • On foot — from Jews' Gate, or up the Mediterranean Steps. Free with the reserve ticket, and the only way to see the quieter parts.
  • Taxi or minibus tour — entry usually included in the fare. Fast, and you stay in the vehicle for much of it.
  • eBike — the motor handles the gradient, which is the whole problem with the Rock.
