When exploring Gibraltar, your daily expenses for dining, local transport, and attractions can vary. Dining options range from casual British pubs and Mediterranean eateries, where a typical meal might cost between £10-£20, to more upscale restaurants with higher price points. Supermarkets offer a way to save money by preparing some of your own meals or packing snacks.
Local transportation within Gibraltar is generally affordable. Buses provide a cost-effective way to get around, with single fares usually under £3. The iconic Cable Car, a must-do for panoramic views and access to the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, has a set return fare, typically around £18-£20, which is a worthwhile investment for the experience. Taxis are also available but will be more expensive.
Entry fees for popular attractions like the Rock of Gibraltar Nature Reserve (which includes St. Michael's Cave, the Apes' Den, and other sites) are usually bundled into a single ticket, costing around £13-£19. These fees contribute to conservation and site maintenance, offering great value for a full day of exploration. Budgeting around £40-£60 per person per day for food, local transport, and one or two attractions is a reasonable starting point.
