What not to do when visiting Gibraltar
Don’t ask personal questions or stare to anyone else - privacy is important and respected.
Don't forget Gibraltar is a self-governing British Overseas Territory and local laws are based on the British ones.
Don’t forget to handshake when greeting (men). Women usually greet with light kisses on both cheeks (”air kisses” where you just touch cheeks and kiss the air), a handshake is common on first meeting. Eye contact is important.
Don't smack or slurp - it's not appreciated.
Don't avoid eye contact business and personal conversations. It's a sign of courtesy.
Don't enter buses, trains or similar before everyone who wants to get out has done so.
