It is also easy to reach Gibraltar from mainland Spain. There are daily bus services from Málaga and Algeciras to the border town of La Línea de la Concepcion. From the bus station it is just a few minutes walk to the border. Various tour operators also run day trips from the Costa del Sol resorts to Gibraltar.

By car you take the N-340 and turn off at San Roque for La Línea. The route to the border is well sign-posted. Unfortunately, lengthy queues can form for cars wishing to go onto and leave the Rock. It is often better to park your car in La Línea and walk across the frontier.

To check queues at the border call Frontier Queue Information - Tel: 42777.

Although security at the border has been greatly improved in recent years you may still be approached by individuals trying to sell you a ticket to enter Gibraltar. Entry to Gibraltar is FREE! You will need a valid British or EU passport - Spanish nationals can also use the identity card. Visitors entering from Spain, who require a visa to enter Spain, should beware. By going to Gibraltar you will be deemed to have left Spain and so may well require a new visa to cross back into Spain.

The walk from the border into the centre of Gibraltar takes just 15 minutes. There are bus services to various parts of the Rock at the bus stop, on the Gibraltar side of the border, opposite the airport terminal entrance. There is also a taxi rank and Tourist Information Office.
