The Skywalk is located at the summit of the Rock of Gibraltar, which stands at a height of 426 meters above sea level. The Skywalk opened to the public in 2018 and quickly became one of Gibraltar's most popular attractions. It is a must-visit for anyone visiting Gibraltar, especially for those who love heights and stunning views.

Interesting Fact

The Skywalk’s inauguration was absolutely spectacular: Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker from the Star Wars saga, cut the ribbon on the spot, opening the Skywalk to the public with his lightsaber.

One of the unique features of the Skywalk is the glass-bottomed platform. The platform extends over the edge of the rock, giving visitors the feeling of standing on top of the world. Once visitors reach the Skywalk, they can walk out onto the glass platform and look down at the sheer drop below.

The Skywalk has become a popular spot for taking photos, offering visitors an unforgettable experience.

The glass-bottomed platform is made of four layers of tempered glass, each layer capable of supporting a weight of 600kg. It is extremely safe and sturdy, capable of holding up to 340 people at once, and strong enough to withstand high winds and even earthquakes.

The Skywalk has become a popular spot for taking photos, offering visitors an unforgettable experience and a unique perspective of Gibraltar's stunning natural beauty.

Visitors to the Skywalk can also enjoy other attractions at the summit of the Rock of Gibraltar, including the Barbary macaques. The macaques are a species of monkey that are native to the area and have lived on the rock for centuries. They are a popular attraction and can often be seen playing and interacting with visitors.

While the Skywalk may not be for the faint of heart, it is an experience that is well worth the visit. The platform offers an unparalleled view of one of the most stunning landscapes in the world and is sure to leave visitors with a sense of awe and wonder.
