Gibraltar city by district
Everything visitable sits in a strip between the frontier and the airport at the north, and the Alameda Gardens and cable car at the south-west. Main Street runs down the middle from Casemates Square to Southport Gates, with Ocean Village on the north-west waterfront and the Upper Rock high above.
About these names
The Upper Rock Nature Reserve is a separate area with its own ticket and its own rules; it needs a half or full day.
