Gibraltar's runway famously crosses the main road — traffic stops when planes land. The town center is a 5-minute taxi or 15-minute walk from the terminal.

Things to do in Gibraltar Airport
Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory on the tip of the Iberian Peninsula — a remarkable geopolitical curiosity home to the only wild monkey population in Europe: the Barbary macaques, who have lived on the Rock since at least the 18th century. The Rock itself offers cable car access to panoramic views over two continents and the meeting point of the Atlantic and Mediterranean. The Great Siege Tunnels, St. Michael's Cave, and the Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque built into the cliff face are clustered in the Upper Rock Nature Reserve.

- The Upper Rock cable car and combined attractions ticket (Siege Tunnels, cave, macaque area) costs around £15–20.
- La Línea de la Concepción in Spain is 5 minutes across the border and offers significantly cheaper dining and accommodation than Gibraltar itself.
