Main Street
A pedestrian street running the length of the old town, lined with red British-style post boxes, bars and duty-free shops selling alcohol, tobacco and perfume.
Running from Grand Casemates Square to South Gate, the street is about 1 km long and lined with British-style shops, a Marks & Spencer store, bars and many duty-free shops. Alcohol, tobacco, perfume and electronics are cheaper than in Spain, so it is the street day-trippers browse most. Along the way you can see the Convent, the Governor's residence, and St Mary the Crowned Cathedral. Note that Gibraltar is outside the EU VAT area, and there are limits on alcohol and tobacco when entering from Spain.
