Tangier, Morocco
Northern Morocco

Tangier

Where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic — kasbah, cafés and coast

Tangier has shaken off its faded reputation and become one of Morocco's most likeable cities: a compact whitewashed kasbah above the strait, a rebuilt corniche and marina, and easy access to Cap Spartel, the Caves of Hercules and Chefchaouen.

Local tips

  • Ferries to Tarifa in Spain take about an hour if you want a two-country trip.
  • Winds are strong on Cap Spartel — hold on to hats.
  • Pair it with Chefchaouen for a three-night northern loop.
