Gibraltar is a shopping haven for many tourists and for residents alike. The small British colony does not pay tax on many items and so cruise ships have this as a popular destination on their Mediterranean cruises.
The best buys are alcohol and cigarettes as they are tax free. It costs approximately ten pounds for a box of 200 cigarettes; this would buy you 40 cigarettes in the UK. Spirits are extremely cheap; a bottle of vodka can be purchased for as little as four pounds. Another tax free item is cosmetics. Perfumes and famous brands such as Clarins and Estee lauder are up to 30% cheaper than the UK. There is a limit to the amount you can take over the Gibraltarian border into Spain with all these purchases, so check these before you buy to save confiscation and disappointment later.
For local goods there is traditional glass blowers, an art gallery and a local crafts shop in the shopping arcade on casemates square. These are great for souvenirs and gifts for friends and family.
