Our recommendation is to visit Gibraltar with our Excursion to Gibraltar from Malaga and Costa del Solwhich includes an organised tour with access to the main attractions of the rock You will be accompanied by a guide and have free time for sightseeing and shopping in the city centre.

However, if you prefer, you may use this free time to buy your ticket for the cable car to be able to access the top of the rock, contemplate the beautiful views, enjoy a snack in the cafeteria, and if you prefer, access the Skywalk.

Another option that is different from what you are used to seeing is to hire a Excursion to Gibraltar and Dolphin Sightseeing by Boat from MalagaYou can also have some free time to visit the rock on your own and access via the cable car, you choose the one that best suits your preferences!
