Just below The Rock Hotel, we walked through several times on our visit. It’s all on an inclined hill but beautifully laid out with a number of historic elements and large array of plants.Full review by HROxon

Lovely trails wind throughout the enhancing sylvan space. Lovely flora looked particularly grand in the bright sunshine. An impressive collection of plants is here, including large succulents.Full review by permia

Small but beautiful botanic garden complex about 15 or 20 minutes walk from Main Street. I really enjoyed a ramble in such a peaceful place. Completely free and lots of benches scattered around to si…Full review by Bozeman-Dublin

There is a ramp for disabled access on Red Sands road opposite red sands house. Alternatively the gardens can be approached from the long stretch along Grand Parade ( behind the large car park by the cable car) or approached from the top of the gardens at the entrance below the Rock Hotel. Please note that there are a lot of steep hills in some places around the gardens and some rough paths that are not suitable for wheelchairs.
Hi Kathryn, I’m interested in planning a small wedding in Gibraltar and like the idea of the botanical gardens. Please an you tell me who you booked it with please? I only have about 20 people in total. Where did you have your reception after? Trying to keep the costs down as much as possible would really appreciate any help. Kind regards Ell

Hi Ell. My wife and I got married in Gib in November last year. We were due to get married in the gardens at the end of October but Monarch going bust did for that. It was not possible to have the wedding in the garden in November so we ended up getting married on the top of the Rock which was stunning. the Gardens were open to walk around so we got the best of all Worlds! As for your reception many wedding planners will have their favourites and the odd place that likely thanks them for their recommendation in one form or another. We chose our own based on reviews and the ability for them to cater for a carnivore like me and my wife who is all but vegan. We went to Embers which is near the old market hall just off the main square. for us it was perfect as we had the ceremony, took lots of snaps on the Rock and then walked the 10 minutes or so from the bottom of the Cable car down the main street to the square. We have eaten is some top places around the world and found the food to be absolutely on the money. There were just 4 of us in our party but for about 20ish I am sure that they will be able to come to an arrangement to close the restaurant for your party. if you are looking at summer there is a lovely outdoor seating area as well and a warm internal one. Hotels - We had booked the Sunborn, staying in one of their executive rooms for the Wedding, and also had a night at the Rock Hotel as we were bumped off our return flight by BA as over booked (trust me if they offer this to you take it. £350 compensation and a free night at the Rock with Diner and Breakfast!) our opinion was that the Rock was a little more old world but the view of the sunset over the bay drinking their signature cocktails is something both of us will always remember. Over all we would say that the Sunborn is 'Business 5 star' (lots of style, little substance) but the Rock Hotel proper old world 5 star. Staff at both could not have been more helpful or pleasant. Good Luck!
