Tangier and the northern Moroccan coastline
Tangier-Tétouan

Tangier

The storied gateway between Europe and Africa, overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar.

Tangier, perched at the crossroads of Europe and Africa, has long drawn writers and artists with its bohemian spirit and views across the Strait of Gibraltar. Explore the medina, the Caves of Hercules and Cape Spartel where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean. Tangier is a natural gateway to northern Morocco and the blue city of Chefchaouen.

Practical advice for your visit

Check current ferry, flight or rail schedules if entering Morocco through Tangier. Leave time for arrival formalities and onward road travel. Chefchaouen is a separate mountain destination; an overnight plan can be more relaxed than rushing both places.
