However, for the best beach weather, visit during the high season, which runs from June to August. Although this does mean sharing the beautiful sights with more visitors, it's also when the territory truly shines in its sunny glory.

Off-peak travel from October to May proffers fewer tourists and lower prices, with pleasantly mild temperatures ideal for outdoor sightseeing. Thanks to the territory's compact size, Gibraltar is a straightforward and hassle-free destination no matter the season.
