There are a variety of ways to get around the rock:
On Foot
Gibraltar is so small (about 6 square kilometres) that getting
around town - and around The Rock, in general - is a feasible option,
if you have the time and energy.
Walking to the lookout point where the cable car stops is a considerable
hike that could take at least 2 hours, or much more, depending on
your level of fitness
Rental Car
Cars are available for hire in Gibraltar and can be taken across
the border into Spain. As a general rule, cars are only hired to
drivers aged 23 to 70 years old who have held a license for at least
