Is the Gibraltar cable car running?

No. The Gibraltar Cable Car closed on 18 November 2025 for a full rebuild and is expected to reopen in 2027.

Can I still reach the top of the Rock of Gibraltar while the cable car is closed?

Yes. A licensed taxi tour is the easiest way up during the closure, and the Upper Rock paths remain open on foot.

Do Gibraltar taxi tours include the same sights as the cable car?

Yes. Guided taxi tours cover St Michael's Cave, the Apes' Den, the Great Siege Tunnels, the Skywalk and Europa Point — the same highlights the cable car served, plus additional stops.

Is a taxi tour more expensive than the cable car during the closure?

The guided rock tour is £45 per person and includes the Nature Reserve pass — entry to St Michael's Cave and all the attractions — so there are no separate tickets to buy or queue for.

The best way to see the Rock — cable car or not

A private guided taxi tour has always been the better way to experience Gibraltar: more stops, real stories instead of a recorded announcement, and a pace that suits you, not a timetable. Right now there's an extra reason to book one — the Gibraltar Cable Car is closed until 2027, so a guided tour is also the easiest way up while it's out of action.

More than a ride up

The cable car only ever did one thing — up and down. A guided tour covers the viewpoints, the history, and the stops it never reached, with someone who actually knows the Rock — in an air-conditioned, comfortable vehicle the whole way.

You still see everything

St Michael's Cave, the Apes' Den, the Great Siege Tunnels, the Skywalk, Europa Point — all included, at your pace.

Built for cruise stopovers

Short in port? A taxi tour is timed precisely to your ship's schedule — door-to-door, no queues, no timetable to work around.

OFF / ROCK

Gibraltar-born and Gibraltar-raised, I've spent years getting to know every corner of the Rock — its history, its quirks, and the details most visitors walk straight past. I'll share the stories behind what you're seeing, not just point at it. My mission: help you walk away with a real feel for what makes this place so unique — not just a camera roll. (Also a lifelong reggae head — ask me about it if the vibe's right.)

micro‑briefing

Gibraltar is small enough to feel like a set — but layered enough to surprise you. The best tours are half navigation, half storytelling, and half “how is that even real?” (Yes that’s three halves. Welcome to Gibraltar.)
