Stand on a glass-floored platform suspended above the Mediterranean and then drive to Europa Point — the southernmost tip of Europe — where Africa appears close enough to touch across 14 miles of shimmering strait.
What to expect
The Sky Walk cantilevers over the sheer eastern face of the Rock, 340 metres above the Mediterranean — step onto the glass floor and look straight down to the sea below while Africa shimmers on the horizon. Your private guide then drives you around to Europa Point, where the red-and-white lighthouse has guided mariners since 1841, and where on a clear day the Rif Mountains of Morocco fill the southern skyline. The juxtaposition of the Atlantic's dark chop to the west and the Mediterranean's turquoise calm to the east is visually arresting. Sunset visits, if timing allows, are genuinely breathtaking.
Good to know
Sky Walk is part of the GBP 35 Nature Reserve ticket — book at naturereserve.gi. Europa Point is accessible by public Bus 2 (frequent, very inexpensive) or by private taxi. Combine both in a 2.5-hour private licensed taxi tour from the pier. Check weather: the Levante cloud can obscure views of Morocco.
