Best photography spots in Gibraltar
By Ethan Roworth·Last checked 2 June 2026
Gibraltar is photogenic from every angle. Here are the angles I keep going back to, and roughly when to be there.
Gibraltar Skywalk
A glass-floored viewing platform at the top of the Rock, cantilevered over the edge at 400 metres with unobstructed views from Morocco to Spain.
Why we picked it: Blue hour, before sunset. Africa across the water.
Mediterranean Steps
A demanding cliff-path hike along the eastern face of the Rock, with near-vertical drops to the Mediterranean and views across to Morocco on a clear day.
Why we picked it: Sunrise hits the east face. Dramatic shadows.
Europa Point
The southernmost tip of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic and Morocco is just 14 kilometres away. Free, open all day, worth it at sunset.
Why we picked it: Sunset over the Strait. The mosque silhouette is the shot.
