Getting to Gibraltar - Flights, Airports & Borders

Gibraltar as many of you will know is a small peninsular, attached to the most southern part of Spain an, with a border of approximately 6 square kilometres.

There are two main entry points into Gibraltar, the border with Spain & the Gibraltar International Airport.

If you are looking to get married in Gibraltar, the airport is the easiest and definitely the most comfortable option. It is a 10 minute drive maximum to all hotels in Gibraltar & has many UK flights from across the country. For more information on flight times please click here https://www.gibraltarairport.gi/

If you are flying from anywhere other than the UK, Malaga airport is probably the best airport to travel to. There is a motorway connecting Malaga & San Roque (closest town on Spanish side of the border) - usually taking 1 and a half hours (132km) to arrive at the border. Malaga airport flies to a variety of UK airports as well as other European countries & flights are usually cheaper. Malaga website info can be found here too https://www.airport-malaga.com/

If Malaga is the airport you have chosen to take, please consider the Gibraltar border. If you are looking to get married in Gibraltar, you may miss your wedding if you do not have the correct documents to cross into the Gibraltar side of the border. Traditionally visas from outside the EU may have been required, but now that UK iis out of the EU, there may be additional requirements.
