Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to travel to Gibraltar in 2026?

The data available for Gibraltar is thin, so treat this score with caution: as of October 2026 it stands at 6.6/10, provisionally classified as Moderate risk based mostly on regional patterns rather than country-specific evidence. The score is an uncertainty-weighted (Bayesian shrinkage) geometric mean of five pillars: conflict (30%), crime (25%), health (20%), governance (15%) and environment (10%).

A weak pillar drags the overall score down more than a strong one lifts it, and the mix also folds in a calibrated consensus of government travel advisories. Thin or stale data pulls a country's score toward a cautious regional baseline instead of guessing — see our methodology page for the full statistical detail.

crime (6.4/10) is Gibraltar's strongest pillar, while the score is pulled down by crime (6.4/10) and above all by crime (6.4/10). This pillar reflects violent crime, theft and organized criminal activity — a low score calls for extra street awareness, especially outside the main tourist areas.
