Gibraltar Tours 3 Night Itinerary
Gibraltar Tours offer Gibraltar as somewhere you can spend 3 nights and see all the sights as it is only 6 square kilometres.
DAY 1
MORNING
Probably first on your list to see in Gibraltar is the famous Rock itself. The whole tour takes about two hours, but as there’s so much to take in we’d advise you put a whole morning or afternoon aside to enjoy this fantastic place.
Many choose to walk to the top but if you’d prefer to relax a little you can always take a ride in a cable car or hop in a taxi. During the tour you’ll see the imposing and dramatic stalagmites and stalactites of St Michael’s Cave, where pre-historic man was once thought to have sheltered and where the forerunners to the Royal Engineers scraped out tunnels in the rock to position their guns during the siege of 1789.
Head back towards one of Gibraltar's stylish marinas and enjoy your meal overlooking the yachts that are moored there, while taking a break before the afternoon's activities.
AFTERNOON
Take a boat to Dolphin World and spend the afternoon watching the three different types of Dolphin; the common dolphin, striped dolphin and bottle nosed Dolphin. There are a number of boats offering dolphin safaris and they all have refreshments and toilet on board. Arriving back into the Marina there’s time for some afternoon refreshment, before heading back to your hotel for a rest before dinner.
EVENING
Casemates Square is the thriving hub of Gibraltar’s nightlife, filled with numerous lively bars and cafes that stay open into the early hours.
DAY TWO
MORNING
Head back to Main Street for some city touring. Gibraltar’s town centre is largely protected by the Gibraltar Heritage Trust and part of a continual restoration programme. Its original city walls and fortifications date back to the 1800’s including Casemates Gates, Charles V Wall and Kings Bastion.
The ‘Let’s Go’ walking tour will take you around the town area and introduce you to the Catholic Cathedral of St. Mary the Crowned and Gibraltar’s museum.
LUNCHTIME
Head towards Irish Town, a sub-district of Main Street and enjoy lunch with a historical flavour, at The House of Sacarello’s, Gibraltar’s oldest coffee house restaurant.
AFTERNOON
Main Street is recognised today as Gibraltar’s main commercial and shopping district. Stop and look at some of the VAT free bargains to be had. Gibraltar offers exceptional value added shopping. Popular purchases include cosmetics, perfumery, tobacco, spirits, electronic goods and jewellery. It’s the perfect weekend shoppers’ destination with everything in close proximity.
EVENING
Stroll up towards the Rock Hotel. The Rock Hotel built in 1932 by the Marquis of Bute is the epitome of colonial Britain. Its Wisteria Terrace with its views across the Bay is the perfect spot to take a full English tea with cucumber sandwiches, scones and teacakes. As you look out across the Bay you may catch a glimpse of the Alameda gardens, Gibraltar’s Botanical gardens designed in 1815 and linked to the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew.
For dinner this evening walk to the east side of the Rock to Catalan Bay to La Mamela which is a specialist fish restaurant with superb fish and a vibrant atmosphere you would expect from a favourite locals haunt.
