Start by exploring the territory’s 426m peak, which gives the enclave its nickname: The Rock. A cable car runs to a top station in six minutes, but if you’d rather walk, take the Mediterranean Steps, a steep stone staircase that winds up to the summit. Along the way you will see a sand dune on the rock’s eastern side while from the top you can take in views of the Strait of Gibraltar, which separates Gibraltar and mainland Spain from Morocco.
