FACILITIES FOR DISABLED PERSONS

 

TOURIST SITES

●●● Clear access / ●● Some difficulty / ● Difficult access

Upper Rock Nature Reserve attractions

1.     St. Michael’s Cave Entrance accessible, bridge and steps ●●

2.     Apes Den Accessible ●●●

3.   Great Siege Tunnels Accessible half way, steep hill and set of steps ●●

3.     Moorish Castle Access difficult, steps and narrow corridors ●

Whilst steps are being taken to meet the special requirements of some of our visitors, some of Gibraltar’s major attractions face particular difficulties in providing access for those who are in wheelchairs.  However, to compensate in some small measure for this, the Gibraltar Tourist Board has arranged for free access to disabled persons into the Upper Rock.

OTHER ATTRACTIONS:

 

World War II Rock and Fortress Tunnel Tour : Accessible ●●●

 

Nelson’s Anchorage: Access to exhibition only, steps and narrow corridors leading to gun ●●

 

Gibraltar Museum: Access to lower floor only ●●

 

Cable Car: Difficult access, a number of flights of steps ●

Shrine of Our Lady of Europe : Good access, ramp at entrance ●●●

We hope that the friendliness, helpfulness and attention of local people can go some way towards compensating for any deficiencies in the physical provisions in buildings and amenities some of which are difficult to satisfactorily adapt.
