Best views in Gibraltar
By Ethan Roworth·Last checked 2 June 2026
Gibraltar has the most viewpoints per square kilometre of anywhere I know. Here are the ones I keep coming back to.
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: Glass platform 340m up. Africa visible on a clear day.
O'Hara's Battery
The highest point on the Rock of Gibraltar at 426 metres, with a 20th-century naval gun and panoramic views across two continents and two seas.
Why we picked it: The very top of the Rock. Reached by walking the Mediterranean Steps.
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: Sea-level view across the Strait. Sunset spot.
