Medina, kasbah and Petit Socco

Cosmopolitan Tangier inspired writers and painters from Matisse to Bowles. A guided tour of its medina leads from the bustling Grand Socco to the Petit Socco, a historic heart of legendary cafés, then to the kasbah and its museum in the former sultan's palace, overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar. The guide recounts the international-city era, the alleys' legends and the best terraces. Allow a half-day; the compact, sloping medina is easy to explore on foot.

Cape Spartel and the Caves of Hercules

About fifteen kilometres from town, Cape Spartel marks where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, crowned by a lighthouse and fine cliffs. Nearby, the Caves of Hercules open to the sea through a natural window shaped like a map of Africa — one of Morocco's most famous shots. The trip often combines both sites with a beach camel ride and a photo stop. It's the perfect half-day to round off the medina visit.

Day trips: Chefchaouen, Asilah and Tetouan

As the gateway to the north, Tangier is the best base for the Rif and the coast. Chefchaouen, the blue town, is about 2 hours away — the most requested day trip. Asilah, a small white-walled fortified town with painted murals, is 45 minutes away for a seaside morning. Tetouan and its UNESCO-listed Andalusian medina round out the choice. These organised outings include air-conditioned transport and hotel pick-up, ideal if you arrive by ferry or via Tangier airport.
