Practical tips for Gibraltar
- The currency is the Gibraltar Pound (GIP), which is pegged 1:1 to the British Pound (GBP); note that Gibraltar banknotes are not accepted back in the UK, so spend them before leaving.
- Getting around is easy on foot or via the comprehensive local bus network, while the Cable Car offers the quickest scenic route to the top of the Rock.
- Gibraltar is exceptionally safe, but always keep food zipped away in bags when near the Barbary macaques, as feeding or touching them carries hefty legal fines.
Fun fact about Gibraltar
Gibraltar is home to Europe's only wild monkey population, and British folklore claims that as long as the Barbary macaques remain on the Rock, Gibraltar will stay under British rule.
