Shopping

Gibraltar is still one of the few remaining VAT free holiday destinations in Europe, offering its visitors a unique and diverse tax free shopping experience.

In addition to the numerous perfumeries, electrical stores and jewellers, Gibraltar’s Main Street is home to many British and European chain stores such as Benetton, BHS, Top Shop, Dorothy Perkins and the Body Shop, not to mention the last remaining Marks & Spencer's in continental Europe. The introduction of late night shopping on Thursday nights, means extra time for some retail therapy!

Main Street, Gibraltar's principal shopping thoroughfare, runs almost the length of town and most shops have windows packed with goods of all kinds at attractive prices. The range, originating from all over world, is tremendous. Items to look out for include jewellery, fine glassware, leather goods, watches, eyewear and the latest in hi-fi technology and TV's.

BUT beware, some shops may apply prices that are higher than in the rest of Europe so you may not benefit from ‘no VAT’ and ‘competitive prices’ and pay much more than expected.
