1
Taking the Cable Car from Alameda Gardens to the Apes Den at the top of the Rock.
2 Going on a Rock Tour in a taxi to the top of the Rock to visit St Michael’s Cave, the Siege Tunnels, Moorish Castle and to see the Apes (actually Barbary Macaque monkeys).
3 See the Dolphins - there are at least three different types of boats based in Marina Bay which take visitors out into the Bay.
4 Going to the Beach - on the East side of the Rock at Eastern Beach, Catalan Bay and Sandy Bay, on the West side Rosia bay, Camp Bay, Little Bay and Western Beach (do choose the side away from the direction the wind is blowing!).
5 Visiting the Trafalgar Cemetery through Southport Gates at the far end of Main Street.
6 Taking a walk through the Alameda Gardens.
7 Visiting the 100 Ton Gun on Rosia Road.
8 Going to Europa Point and the Shrine of Our Lady of Europe.

10 Watching the Guard Change at the Convent - the Governor’s residence at the far/South end of Main Street
11 Sitting in a bar on either of the Marinas (Marina Bay and Queensway Quay), in Casemates Square or down Main Street, and watching the world go by.
12 And of course, shopping down Main Street and in the side streets off it (take care though, as the UK shops - M&S, BHS, Mothercare etc. - usually charge more for their goods than in the UK).
