Gibraltar, a small yet diverse British Overseas Territory spanning 6.7km2, lies on the southernmost edge of the Iberian Peninsula. Primarily inhabited by Gibraltarians, it also feels like a slice of England on the Mediterranean thanks to historically being a stronghold of the British during various global conflicts, including the Napoleonic Wars and World War II.

The local culture reflects an intriguing confluence of British, Spanish and Moorish influences, with many inhabitants speaking fluent Spanish and the local dialect Llanito, alongside English. Gibraltar's strategic location and rich past; from Phoenician settlements and Roman rule to the Moorish occupation and Spanish sieges, provide endless historical and architectural wonders to discover.

Gibraltar's economy primarily relies on tourism, fueled by its impressive landmarks, spectacular natural beauty and welcoming hospitality. However, a gradual shift towards financial services and online gambling also signify the evolving, dynamic aspects of the city. Despite Brexit, Gibraltar still maintains close economic and cultural links with Spain, with negotiations to allow easier border crossings progressing well.

When to visit Gibraltar

When it comes to planning your visit, Gibraltar offers good weather most of the year, but the period from April to November is especially favourable. July, August, and September generally see the highest temperatures, making it perfect for sun-seekers and outdoor enthusiasts.

If you prefer a drier climate, aim to visit between June and August. On the flip side, the rainiest months in Gibraltar are January, March, November, and December, with the beginning of the year also seeing the coldest conditions. Regardless of the time of the year, Gibraltar promises a holiday experience unlike any other, with its distinct blend of natural splendour, rich history and Mediterranean warmth.
