Crime
 

Violence or street crime is rare.  However there have been reports of people walking from La Linea (Spain) to Gibraltar at night being attacked and robbed.

For more general information see Victims of Crime Abroad.  Please note as Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory there is no formal British Consular Representation. We are therefore unable to offer full assistance as described in this link.

Border Queues

 
Vehicles may experience delays when entering Gibraltar from Spain and vice versa.  These delays increase during the high season and traffic flow in and out can be very slow particularly during peak hours: mornings coming into Gibraltar and early evening leaving Gibraltar.  It is advisable to take water with you during the hot summer months.
 
However this rarely affects those entering/leaving Gibraltar on foot.
 
Those travelling by car can find out the latest information on the queue by calling (tel:  +(350) 200 42777).
