Local tip for your visit

If you want to see the Upper Rock and avoid the biggest crowds, try going early on a weekday morning, especially outside of high summer. The paths are cooler and quieter before midday, which also gives you a better chance to spot the Barbary macaques without the scramble. Bring good walking shoes since some areas are steep and uneven. Plus, once you’re done, stroll down towards Catalan Bay for a more relaxed, less touristy vibe and a great seafood lunch spot where locals go, especially in late spring and early autumn.

Frequently Asked Questions
