An overseas territory of Great Britain, Gibraltar is located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, sharing a border with Spain. Just 2.6-square-miles in size, Gibraltar has become one of Europe’s most incredible vacation spots, filled with natural beauty and a fantastic weather climate.
With the discovery of the remains of a neanderthal woman in 1848, together with that of a child in 1926, Gibraltar became an area of intense anthropological study. But its modern history has long been dominated by intense conflict, including 14 sieges. Tourists to Gibraltar dive into this incredible history, while surrounded by the picturesque beauty of the Rock of Gibraltar.
With increased development and a greater attention to public infrastructure, Gibraltar has torn down many of the barriers to wheelchair travel. A modern airport and public transportation system, accessible beaches and tourist attractions, and a disability-friendly local government are all examples of this progress. Use this guide to plan your wheelchair accessible Gibraltar vacation and experience all of the city’s memorable treasures.
