Hurtige fakta: The tunnels stretch over 34 miles inside the rock, making them a vast underground network. They were originally carved out to protect thousands of military personnel from bombings during World War II.
Højdepunkter: One tunnel served as a hospital ward complete with beds and medical equipment, all carved from solid limestone. The cool, echoing tunnels create an eerie yet fascinating atmosphere that transports visitors back in time to wartime Gibraltar.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes with good grip due to uneven floors and damp areas.
- Bring a flashlight or use your phone’s light to spot intricate tunnel details.
- Visit sections with signage first to gain historical context for less-marked parts.
- Avoid weekends or holidays when guided tour groups tend to swell.
