Gibraltar Cable Car
A six-minute ride from the lower station beside the Alameda Botanic Gardens to the summit station at the top of the Rock. The summit terrace offers views of both Europe and Africa.
The cable car departs from the lower station beside the Alameda Botanic Gardens and rises in about six minutes to the upper station at an altitude of about 412 meters. The upper station has a viewing terrace and a café. On clear days, you can see the Rif Mountains of Morocco across the strait. In peak season, queues are long in the morning, so arrive early or book online. The return ticket is expensive, so many people choose a one-way ride up and walk down, passing the Apes' Den and St Michael's Cave. Service is suspended in strong winds. One-way tickets do not include nature reserve admission.
Opening hours
About 9:30 am–7:15 pm (until 5:15 pm in winter)
