If you're planning a trip to Gibraltar, it's worth considering the dates of the Gibraltarian public holidays.

Gibraltar celebrates some of the traditional UK and European holidays as well as Commonwealth ones such as the Queen's Birthday.

In general, when a holiday falls on a Sunday the national holiday is usually observed on the Monday.

However, unlike in many southern European countries, Gibraltar is fairly relaxed about observance of these holidays and most retailers, for example, will remain open on these holidays in order to cater for tourists.
