While the city itself and the coastline are important parts of a visit to Gibraltar, Click A Tour would like to focus on the rock and tell you more about the possibilities it offers climb the most famous natural landmark, the Rock of Gibraltar, a monolith overlooking the seaport and city. Here are the best things to see and do in Gibraltar, from 56 km of tunnels winding through the cliffs and the famous Barbary monkeys to the beautiful old town and dolphins swimming in its waters.

For most visitors, the biggest attraction is the rock and its famous Macaque colony. These little residents could be seen throughout the upper reaches of the territory and sometimes in hotel rooms after a long walk on the rock of Gibraltar. Those looking to spend a full day return to the monkey den and take the cable car back to central Gibraltar, where they can explore some of the city's attractions.

If you take the cable car in any direction, you should be able to see the monkeys in a couple of hours, but there is much more to the rock. These are not art galleries, but large tunnels in solid rock, which are mainly used as observation points for cannons that climb up to the cliff to protect it from the Spanish mainland.

The construction of these tunnels began in May 1782 as part of the defence of Gibraltar against France and Spain during the Great Siege. The tunnels of the Great Siege were dug into the northern wall of the Rock of Gibraltar and used by the British as defences when France and Spain tried to recapture the Rock from the British two centuries before the British built the WWII tunnels to defend Gibraltar, they built much smaller tunnel networks which are now known as the Great Siege Tunnels.

The idea proposed by Sergeant Major Ins to carve the limestone by hand was adopted and the British got to work in 1781. British ingenuity was at its peak when the Governor of Gibraltar, General Elliott, organized a competition and offered $ 1,000 to anyone who could obtain a cannon at a site on the northern slope of the cliff called Paz.

Some people believed that Gibraltar was connected to Africa underground from the cave in the past. You can also see the famous Leonora Cave, from this side was believed there was an underground connection with Africa through which the monkeys got to Gibraltar. Another thing to do in Gibraltar is to cross its huge suspension bridge.

The station in the valley offers epic views to the southern border of the historic centre and is the highest peak in all directions. To the south are oil tanks in the Strait of Gibraltar, one of the busiest shipping routes in the Mediterranean Sea, with the neighbouring African continent in the distance.

Located on the main street, the Gibraltar Parliament building and the Santa Maria Coronada Cathedral, which sits at the top of the mosque, can be also seen.

The reserve also helps with the top tourist attractions of the Rocks, including St Michael's Cave, the Ohara’s Battery, and the Great Siege Tunnels. If you choose to visit the sights of the Rock of Gibraltar on your own, instead of booking an organized tour, you will need to purchase a ticket to the reserve, a nature reserve home to some of Gibraltar's most impressive landmarks, including St Michael's Cave, a Moorish castle and an old Jewish cemetery.
