- Paul WBridport, UK17 contributionsAmazing natural geological cave system in the Rock of Gibraltar. Fantastic caves with great light show
Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues as we didn’t see any wheelchair access and there are steps to negotiate on touring and exiting the caves.Written 13 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Paul WBridport, UK17 contributionsInformative and interesting history of the development of the cave defence system of Gibraltar. Of particular interest was the James Bond author, Ian Fleming’s link to the use of the tunnels during WW2 and also the evacuation of Gibraltar’s civilian population.Written 13 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- geo3Calgary, Canada2,448 contributionsThis is a different experience than the Great Siege Tunnels, but it is also included in the price for the Nature Reserve. If you are walking down from the top of the Rock, as I was, this is basically right on the pathway down, and is a good second stop after stopping at the Great Siege Tunnels, which are higher up.
These tunnels are on a much grander scale than the Great Siege tunnels, and the technology behind them is amazing, as most of them were drilled out in a short time during WWII, for use as dormitories, offices, even hospitals and schools, all bomb-proof. As a Canadian, I was interested to find out that much of the work was done by Canadian hard rock miners, who were used to dealing with the machinery needed to bore these giant tunnels through hard rock such as the limestone of Gibraltar.
You'll even pass through an area of faulting - interesting from a geological point of view to see what a fault plane looks like up close. There is also a nice view over the Mediterranean sea from an observation balcony (but watch your head when you go through the tunnel to this viewpoint! It's probably the reason that they issue hardhats to you when you start the tour).
More could be done here, I think, in terms of displays of information, but even as it is, it is very interesting.Written 31 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great staff and some good exhibits.
We had been a few years ago and recently went back so didn't see much change but was still a good place to go for the history buff.Written 24 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It became a meeting place for Garrison Officers but also was an essential component of training for military personnel.
Luxurious furnishings and comforts are paramount. A plethora of volumes and tomes are kept in bookcases, some quite venerable looking. It was interesting to see multiple bound volumes of the National Geographic magazine.
Lovely gardens provide open air spaces for relaxation amongst the grand flora.
It continued as a military Library till 2011 when it was acquired by the state.Written 17 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bozeman-DublinTrim, Ireland11,521 contributionsA lovely cathedral fronting onto Main Street. It has a plaza out front which is at the heart of the busiest part of the main shopping street. Yet inside it's so tranquil.
Beautifully kept and completely free to enter.Written 25 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is relatively small and today serves all branches of the armed forces.
Interestingly it is reported as being the first purpose-built church in Gibraltar.Written 19 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We got a lane straight away, was reasonably priced, the screen was easy to use and there was a good selection of bowling balls. The shoes given were incredibly slippy though, and I'm not really sure if they are actually needed as most bowling alleys don't seem to make you wear them now.Written 14 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Martin HUpminster, UK664 contributionsA very quaint chapel that we decided to walk to from Mainstreet. There is a bus that takes only 10 minutes otherwise.
Not a typical ornate church as you expect on the continent. However the history of the statue is compelling.Written 10 September 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

So open and airy, there was something particularly special and spiritual about this Church of England gem.
Directly opposite the Bristol Hotel or Commonwealth Park, right on cathedral Square.
It would be a shame to miss out on this delightful place.Written 25 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I was a bit dubious but Raja store manager reassured me by sending photos of the watch and recommended I read reviews prior to purchasing it. I paid via a bank transfer.
The watch arrived 3 days later via royal mail special delivery and was very well packaged.
Thankyou Raja for your help and patience whilst I checked reviews.
A☆ Service.
Highly recommend

We have also been bought jewellery from this store by my parents who live there.. Very well priced jewellery, and a good selection. We also liked the real flowers inlaid into a collection too.. so pretty! Will definitely come back again when we next visit in July.Written 4 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
