They have a fascinating range of collectable militaria representing the many ages of Gibraltar’s turbulent past, as well as a selection of locally-themed antique and reproduction prints.

Despite the abundance of artistic talent on the Rock there is sadly no permanent public gallery displaying the work of Gibraltarian artists. The Gibraltar Fine Arts Gallery,also on Casemates Square however showcases purchasable pieces by a wide selection of prominent local artists.

Eat: It is testament to Gibraltar’s melting-pot of cultures that you can just as easily find excellent Mediterranean fare such as fried seafood at the beachside restaurants at Catalan Bay; a typical British bar meal in one of the many pubs within the historic City Walls; or a curry at The Maharaja, Gibraltar’s oldest Indian restaurant.

All budgets are similarly catered for. For fine dining, try one of the swanky bistros on the Queensway Quay or Ocean Village marinas or for a less expensive alternative, dine on a raciones (shared plates) basis in the company of locals at Jumpers Wheel restaurant on Jumpers Bastion.

You can grab some excellent food ‘on the go’ for just a few pounds at one of the many ‘takeaway’ restaurants scattered around the Rock. Gilbert’s, located opposite the Public Market is a local favourite despite only being open in the evenings.

Finally, no trip to Gibraltar would be complete without a breakfast of churros a traditional fried-dough snack which is extremely popular with Gibraltarians.

Drink: Casemates Square and Irish Town have no shortage of British-style pubs offering the usual selection of traditional ales in carpeted and wood-panelled surroundings.

Bars like O’Reilly’sandCelebrity Wine Barin Ocean Village are the places to see and be seen nowadays, before heading down to Savannah nightclub, also on the marina, for a funky dance floor strut. Gibraltar’s Casino has three bars, a very late license and is also located nearby.

Stay: Gibraltar has hotels to suit every pocket and predilection. The big three - the O’Callaghan Eliott, the Rock Hotel and the Caleta Hotel - offer the most luxurious accommodation as well as specialising in bespoke wedding packages, catering to those couples wanting to follow in John and Yoko’s footsteps by ‘tying the knot’ on the Rock.

There are also several slightly less expensive options such as the Bristol, the Cannon and the Queens Hotel. The Bristol is arguably the pick of the bunch boasting as it does the luxury of both a swimming pool and a central town location.

Emile Hostel offers basic accommodation either on a private room or dormitory basis for about £10-15 a night. It is well situated near Casemates Square and is the perfect choice for backpackers or young travellers.

Walk: Practically every corner of Gibraltar is accessible on foot. The City Centre is compact and the Upper Rock and beaches can be reached without needing to rely on transport.

A walk up Mediterranean Steps, which wind its way around the Rock’s eastern side, is a great way to enjoy the diversity and natural beauty of the Nature Reserve.
