The Apes of Gibraltar

Avoid an Embarrassing Stop

Diarrhea can easily ruin a trip.Over 70% of travelers

If you’re interested in animals, you should visit the Gibraltar Natural Reserve. You’ll see the Barbary macaques, which are the only monkeys living in the wild in Europe. It is said that if these creatures were to ever leave Gibraltar so would the British.

The reserve is located at the upper rock area of the island. Travelers will come upon a den where they can see the animals close up. These apes may look harmless and adorable, but they are wild and do bite. It’s possible you may see them when you go into town, so it’s important to watch your belongings and don’t feed them.

What Should I Take to Gibraltar?

Before you travel to Gibraltar, there are some things you should take on your trip.

  • Travel Documents – Be sure to have these with you in your carry-on luggage. If you are traveling on to North Africa, a visa may be required for some countries.
  • Money — Gibraltar pound (GIP) is the official currency of Gibraltar. All major credit cards are accepted and there are ATMs viable to use across Gibraltar. Traveler’s checks are also accepted.
