Shopping

Gibraltar is a duty-free shopper’s paradise and still continues to offer duty free goods despite changes elsewhere in Europe. Prices at the airport, notably for tobacco and spirits, are among the least expensive in the world.

Shops are normally open by 9.30 am and stay open all day through to 7pm on weekdays, many close Saturday afternoon, and most, if not all, close Sunday. (Please note times may vary).

Main Street, Gibraltar’s principal shopping thoroughfare, runs almost the length of town and the shops are filled with goods of all kinds at attractive prices. Turn off Main Street into the little lanes and alleys and there are even more shops. Items to look out for include jewellery, both precious and semi-precious, fine glassware and porcelain, leather goods, perfumes, silks and cashmere.

Take back a unique souvenir from the Gibraltar Crystal Factory (www.gibraltarcrystal.com). Where you can see master glass blowers crafting molten glass into beautiful items of crystal. At Gibraltar Crystal all products are genuinely handmade each with their own certificate of authenticity.

Among the “hardware” there are computers, cameras of all kinds, watches, optical equipment and electrical goods including the latest TV’s, radios and hi-fi systems.

Gibraltar is VAT-free so you will find that your pound goes further when you visit the pedestrianised shopping area in the heart of the town and enjoy the excellent shopping experience.
