The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe walking shoes
Paths and steps on the Upper Rock are uneven and often steep; supportive shoes reduce fatigue and slip risk.
Sun and wind protection
The skywalk and bridge are exposed — bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a light windbreaker even on warm days.
Carry water and small snacks
The tour involves walking between viewpoints and limited refreshment stops on the Rock; keep hydrated to stay comfortable.
Give macaques space
The Barbary macaques are wild animals — avoid feeding or touching them and secure loose items to prevent snatching.

Conservation Note
The Upper Rock Nature Reserve protects over 40% of Gibraltar’s land; visitors are asked to stick to paths and avoid feeding wildlife to limit human impact.
Gibraltar’s strategic position shaped centuries of conflict — ceded to Britain in 1713, the Rock’s tunnels and fortifications span Moorish, Spanish and British military eras.
