STANDARD TOUR – 5 STOPS

OVERVIEW

In this great tour you will visit the most demanded by our visitors.

PILLARS OF HERCULES

Instead of climbing the great mountain, Hercules used his superhuman strength to smash through it.
By doing so, he connected the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and formed the Strait of Gibraltar.
One part of the split mountain is Gibraltar and the other is either Monte Hacho or Jebel Musa.

ST. MICHAELS CAVE

St. Michael’s Cave or Old St. Michael’s Cave is the name given to a network of limestone caves located within the Upper Rock Nature Reserve in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, at a height of over 300 metres (980 ft) above sea level. According to Alonso Hernández del Portillo, the first historian of Gibraltar, its name is derived from a similar grotto in Monte Gargano near the Sanctuary of Monte Sant’Angelo in Apulia, Italy, where the archangel Michael is said to have appeared.

It is the most visited of the more than 150 caves found inside the Rock of Gibraltar,[2] receiving almost 1,000,000 visitors a year.

SKYWALK

A former military lookout transformed into a state-of-the-art glass platform and walkway giving unrivalled views across the Mediterranean. An unbroken 360º panoramic viewpoint as spectacular as anywhere else in the world.

Enter the 360º environment and get a feel for the freedom and exhilaration you will experience at The Skywalk.

BARBARY MACAQUES

The Gibraltar Barbary macaques are considered by many to be the top tourist attraction in Gibraltar. The most popular troop is that of Queen’s Gate at the Ape’s Den, where people can get especially close to the monkeys. They will often approach and sometimes climb onto people, as they are used to human interaction. Nevertheless, they are still wild animals and will bite if frightened or annoyed.

THE GREAT SIEGE TUNNELS

The Great Siege Tunnels in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, also known as the Upper Galleries, are a series of tunnels inside the northern end of the Rock of Gibraltar. They were dug out from the solid limestone by the British during the Great Siege of Gibraltar of the late 18th century.
