Gibraltar is small, so getting around on foot is easy. Be aware that some of the roads, especially the ones leading up to the Rock can be steep. While in town or the top of the cabl-car station, you can explore on foot.

There is a frequent and very affordable bus system and you can buy both single tickets as well as day tickets. An all-day ticket for the Gibraltar Bus Company costs around £2.50 and you pay on the bus with either cash, card, or contactless payment.

Bus no. 9 or 10 will take you into the center of town or to the base of the funicular station, where you'll be taken"upstairs" to see the major attractions of the "rock nation," all of which tower over Gibraltar.

If you decide to rent a car to get to Gibraltar, expect long delays due to the border crossing. You can avoid crossing the border by car and park in Spain to walk across the border to Gibraltar. The FoCana car park is less than a 5-minute walk to the border and walking into Gibraltar takes just a few short minutes. As you walk into Gibraltar, you will pass a bus stop with buses that will take you into the center of town.

The most convenient way to explore the Rock is in a taxi. The drivers know the terrain well and can easily navigate the twisting, narrow streets. Many of these taxi drivers act as a tour guide and will take you to all the major attractions. With a minimum of four passengers, these tours last about 1.5 hours.

Taxis can be found at the stands at the Gibraltar/La Linea frontier or in the center of town at such points as Cathedral Square, Coach Park, Casemates, and Piazza-Town Center.

The cable car that takes you to a beautiful lookout point at the top of The Rock is more than an attraction in itself, this is an efficient way to travel. The cable car costs around £8 round trip for adults and around £4.50 round trip for children over 7. Children 6 and under travel free. There will be an extra charge of around £8 should you wish to enter the attractions on the Upper Rock.
