A post-war blend of cultures shaped the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar into the interesting place it is today, and thanks to the vaccine rollout – and its latest inclusion on the UK s green list – there s never been a better time to experience it. With an abundance of activities on offer from history tours to hiking trails, here s how to maximise your time in Gibraltar.
1. For history buffs
Long a symbol of strength and stability, life on the Rock is about more than politics and cannon-fire. At 426m high, the Jurassic limestone promontory juts out into the Mediterranean while housing an extensive cave network that has provided cover to humans for tens of thousands of years. From Unesco World Heritage site, Gorham’s Cave Complex and its Neanderthal findings, to St Michael s Cave doubling up as a hospital during the war, Gibraltar has plenty to discover for those with an interest in history.

Daily cases as of 5 May: 13 per million
Life has been largely normal for Australians for most of the last year thanks to an effective Covid-19 response, largely bolstered by extremely harsh border restrictions and zero tolerance for risk.
There is a mandatory 14-day hotel quarantine in place for all arrivals, which severely limits the numbers arriving, as well as a negative test taken within the last 72 hours. Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne and parts of Sydney have all experienced snap lockdowns after single-digit cases of community transmission. To enter the country, people must have a valid visa, and Australian citizens and returning permanent residents and their immediate family members are permitted to enter Australia without an exemption.
