English is Gibraltar's official language and the currency is the pound sterling; euros are widely accepted in shops, often at a less favourable rate, and cards are widely accepted. Gibraltar is on the same time as Spain (Central European Time). With a short call, the main sights in the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, the macaques, St Michael's Cave and the Great Siege Tunnels, are best reached by taxi or minibus tour, as the cable car has been closed for a rebuild.
