Intro
Perched 340 metres above sea level, the Skywalk offers a 360° view over Gibraltar, the strait and, on clear days, Morocco.
The Skywalk is a glass-floored platform cantilevered out from the eastern flank of the Rock, 340 metres above sea level, with views that sweep from Spain across the strait to North Africa.
It's a short, easy add-on if you are already at the top of the Rock — combine it with the Apes' Den and St. Michael's Cave for a complete loop.
Clear days for best visibility.
20 to 30 minutes.
