What should Star Clippers passengers know about Gibraltar?
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). The cable car has been closed for a rebuild, so the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, with its macaques, St Michael's Cave and the Great Siege Tunnels, is reached by taxi tour, minibus tour or on foot.
