Top places to visit in Gibraltar
Rock of Gibraltar (natural) — 426 m limestone monolith dominating the Strait — cable car to the summit with views spanning Morocco, Spain, and the Mediterranean.
St Michael's Cave (natural) — Natural limestone cavern inside the Rock — 150-m-deep stalactite and stalagmite cathedral used today as an auditorium for concerts.
Barbary Macaques (natural) — Europe's only wild primates — free-roaming monkeys at the top of the Rock guarded by strict rules; legend ties their presence to British sovereignty.

Gibraltar Museum (landmark) — Moorish bathhouse, Egyptian mummy, and Neanderthal skull cast — surprising depth for a small territory museum in the heart of town.
Dolphin Safari (natural) — Daily boat trips from the marina into the Strait — resident pods of common and striped dolphins, occasional orcas in summer.
Catalan Bay (beach) — Charming fishing village on the Rock's eastern face — colourful boats, a sandy beach, and a distinctly different Spanish-Genoese feel.
