What should Hapag-Lloyd Cruises passengers know about Gibraltar?
Gibraltar's currency is the pound sterling, and euros are widely accepted in shops but often at a less favourable rate, so a card is usually the simpler choice; cards are widely accepted. English is the official language, and Gibraltar is on the same time as Spain (Central European Time). Ships berth at the Gibraltar Cruise Terminal on the North Mole, about a 15-minute walk from Casemates Square and Main Street. The cable car has been closed for a rebuild, so the Upper Rock is reached by taxi tour, minibus tour or on foot.
