From a local’s view

If you want to see Gibraltar like a local, avoid weekends at the Upper Rock Nature Reserve and instead visit on a weekday morning. You'll find the paths quieter and the Barbary macaques more active. A good tip: bring a bottle of water and wear comfortable shoes, especially if you’re heading to spots like the Mediterranean Steps, which give you incredible views but can be steep. After your walk, pop into one of the cafés in John Mackintosh Square for a relaxed break , locals often meet there to chat and enjoy a strong coffee.
