The Rock of Gibraltar is a peninsula, which means that it is surrounded by water on three sides. You can reach Gibraltar by a variety of ways:

• travelling across water and arriving in a boat or ship
• arriving in a plane to land on Gibraltar's airstrip
• by land through Spain and entering Gibraltar through its border

NOTE: All EC nationals can enter Gibraltar with identity cards or passport. A British visitor's passport is also valid for entry into Gibraltar and Spain, but a full passport is required should you wish to visit North Africa.

Once you get to Gibraltar you can either use the bus service, which is quite cheap at 40p a trip, whatever your destination, or you can get a taxi cab of which there are plenty of and the driver is required by law to carry and produce on demand a copy of the taxi fares
