I’m thinking of a short trip to Gibraltar, my question is....do I drive or get the train.
If I drive I can imagine parking would be horrendous.
I feel a train may be the better option?
Secondly...accommodation, any suggestion in or near Gibraltar?
Thanks all.

Hi Chester
We drove to Gibraltar last month. A beautiful drive through such pictureque countryside. Roads fantastic. Did all the toll roads so little traffic. 6 hours drive but good stop places every 2 hours.
We stayed at the Bristol hotel very reasonable.
Regards graham
I presume parking was at the hotel graham?

Yes but early arrival gets a better spot

However you do it, I suggest that you allow enough time to see Gibraltar itself, and not just the shopping strip, which in my opinion is quite grotty and much dearer than you'd expect for a tax-free zone. The only bright spot of our visit there was the sight of a number of eagles when we were getting near to Gibraltar.
Planning two days Jim...I have been a few times before but not under my own volition or with a car.
Not my cup of tea but the wife fancies a trip down.
