Gibraltar cruise ports
Gibraltar occupies a peninsula beside the strait between the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Its compact outline on a map can be useful for orientation, but the shape of a walking route and its changes in height still matter when planning a visit. Start with the cruise arrival details and choose the part of the destination that suits your time and mobility. Compare the route from the waterfront with the changes in height, rather than relying on the peninsula's compact outline. Check access arrangements for any particular attraction before leaving the ship, and keep the return route in your plan throughout the day.

Getting into town
A walkable port isn't necessarily step-free. At tender ports, the walk starts at the landing. A fare may cover only part of the journey, so check the guide for the full route.

| Gibraltar | from the Western Arm cruise terminal, head towards Casemates Square, at the northern end of Main Street; the port's figures below describe the city-centre approach generally. | Realistic 10 minutes in the port authority's estimate; realistic for a lower-town visit via the streets between the cruise terminal and Main Street. Allow extra time at an unhurried pace and for terminal security. | Walk: 10 min Distance: 1.0 km | Dock | Not needed: you can walk |
How to read these comparisons
We only compare shuttles and public transport where walking isn't a clear yes. A bus or shuttle may cover only part of the way, or go somewhere else entirely, so check the guide for the route and what the ticket covers. Free shuttles come first. Fares are only put in order when the tickets are the same kind.
Not recorded: we haven't checked this yet, though the guide may say more. None: the guide records no such service. Not applicable: the comparison doesn't fit, either because the guide covers a route or several places, or because you can walk and a shuttle doesn't matter. Unknown fare: there's a service, but we don't have its price. Service unknown: we haven't confirmed the shuttle runs.
Times and distances run from the berth or landing to the landmark named in each guide. That isn't always the city on your itinerary. On the walking page, realistic walks come first, then conditional ones, then ports where walking isn't practical. Within each group, the shortest walks come first.
