Relax in the shadow of the Rock of Gibraltar

Explore the gateway to the Mediterranean!

Gibraltar holidays are truly unique. Gibraltar's strategic position at the mouth of the Mediterranean, on a sandy isthmus off the coast of Spain, means the territory is alive with history, yet remains fantastically cosmopolitan. Everyone should take a Gibraltar holiday at least once during their lifetime, and once you take an apartment to rent in Gibraltar for the first time, you will almost certainly return.

There is so much to see and so many things to do in Gibraltar, guides can only scratch the surface. The incredible legacy from Gibraltar's history can be seen at every turn, and it is a history that is proudly celebrated. A British territory since 1704, British influences are everywhere, and English remains the official language. There are some excellent Rock of Gibraltar tours to take, that show you the main sights, including the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, the Alameda Grand Parade and Botanical Gardens, Nelson's Anchorage, the Great Siege Tunnels, the Trafalgar Cemetery and St Michael's Cave.

Gibraltar holidays are not all about history though. There are a huge number of things to do in Gibraltar all year round, and the nature is astonishing. Dolphins can regularly be seen frolicking in the Bay of Gibraltar, and the Rock is the best place in the Mediterranean to see pilot, killer and sperm whales as they make their way through the Straights of Gibraltar. Bird watching is also hugely rewarding from an apartment rental in Gibraltar, with huge flocks of birds crossing the Mediterranean at its narrowest point. No guide to Gibraltar holidays would be complete without a mention of the iconic Rock Apes or Barbary Macaques as they are officially named.

Whether you want to soak up the atmosphere or enjoy activity from Gibraltar rentals you are well catered for. The city is filled with fantastic shopping streets, fantastically luxurious restaurants looking over the sea and the Rock and a great number of museums and galleries documenting the long and eventful history of Gibraltar. The sea is an activity hotbed, with Gibraltar known as a sensational sailing, scuba diving and deep sea fishing destination. Whatever you decide to do from a Gibraltar property during the day, the Gibraltar Casino is always a centre of excitement during the balmy evenings.

Trying to reach Gibraltar accommodation from home is fantastically straight forward. There are regular cheap flights to Gibraltar Airport (GIB), which occupies one of the few flat pieces of land in the territory and is intersected by Winston Churchill Avenue, the main road from the city to the port. Cheap flights to Gibraltar arrive from Manchester, London Gatwick and Luton on a regular basis, provided by Monarch Airlines, EasyJet and British Airways, meaning that you can be settling into one of the beautiful holiday properties in Gibraltar in just over 3 hours from leaving home.

An apartment in rent in Gibraltar is a magnificent base for trips into Spain or over the Straights of Gibraltar to Morocco. The Spanish border is open to Gibraltar, with no limit on the number of times you can cross in a day. If you visit Gibraltar accommodation for any length of time, the short ferry trip to Morocco is well worth taking.
