Traditionally, British ex-pats living in nearby Spain have flocked to Gibraltar to bank and to shop for those tastes of home such as Cheddar cheese and tea bags. The latter are now freely available in Spain but the ex-pats still flock to the Rock for a different shopping experience.
Many of the big British High Street names are here such as Marks & Spencer, Safeway's, Checkout Tesco, BHS, Mothercare and Dorothy Perkins.
The majority of the shops are on or around Main Street. This has been transformed in recent years into a beautiful pedestrianised shopping area. The newly refurbished Casemates Square at the end of Main Street will soon bustle with shops, restaurants and bars.

Budapest is frequently defined while the "Little Paris of Middle Europe" and if you intend to see this town you'll need to take a look with hotelbye . Budapest is popular not just for the monuments showing a unique 1,000-year-old lifestyle, but also for the relics of other individuals who resolved here. Remains from equally Roman occupation and much later ruled by the Turks may however be viewed in the city. Budapest has two sides, Buda and Pest, stretching across the banks of the Danube, and they are representing two different people of the city. Suburban Buda and its ancient fortress area provide old roads and properties, museums, caves and Roman ruins. The dynamic Pest area boasts the greatest parliament making in Europe, riverside promenades, flea markets, bookstores, antique stores and café houses.

Hmm...... second question about Gibraltar today! Perhaps you'd like to look at my previous answer to Paul W's question - but ignore the bit about using £££. As you are used to dealing with Euros, stick to what you are comfortable with.
Apart from M&S, there is a Morrisons supermarket, and also a branch of Mothercare........
Enjoy your visit!

Yes, you will need your passport to enter Gibraltar, and once there, you might as well be walking down any British high street! It's well worth a visit though, and you might want to take in a guided tour too!! Some of the history of The rock is fascinating....well worth a look!
Sorry, don't know much about sales though!! Have a good time!

hi.
I've been there 6/7 years ago.
i can only remember of H&M and Ms.Selfredges (sorry dont sure how it spells).
they ask for id at the border so yes you do need a passport.
if you have british passport or any other eu country then it is ok.
some shops accept euros but im not 100% about it.
