DON'T MISS
A must is the cable car ride to the top of the Rock to get a 360 degree of the stunning views beyond.
THINGS TO DO AND SEE
SHOPPING
The Main Street in Gibraltar is filled with quaint shops so you could pick up bric-a-brac to take back home. Gibraltar is a duty free zone, so buy some alcohol or cigarettes if you will – they may be cheaper than what you get back home!
GRAB A BITE
Café Rojo in Irish Town has atmosphere and the ambiance is great. Of course not mention that the food is good too! The chicken and chorizo are to die for and should be on your must eat list. Be sure to make reservations as the restaurant tends to fill up. If you are missing Indian food than do head to Charlie's Tavern in Ocean Village – they do have the best Indian food in town, besides their other fare like burgers and seafood.
AVERAGE TEMPERATURES
With 300 plus days of sunshine, Gibraltar enjoys warm weather throughout the year. The mean temperature is a pleasant 17.3 °C /63.2 °F with August being the hottest month when temps soar to 29°C /84°F and January is the coolest at a very pleasant 13 °C/55° F.
