Discover Tangier: A City of History, and Sea Views

Things to See and Do in Tangier
Explore the Medina
Tangier’s old town, or Medina, is full of narrow alleys, colourful markets, and whitewashed houses. Get lost in its charm, shop for local crafts, and sip mint tea in a traditional café.
Visit the Kasbah
At the top of the Medina lies the Kasbah. This ancient fortress offers stunning views over the Strait of Gibraltar. Don’t miss the Kasbah Museum, housed in the former Sultan’s palace.
Discover the Caves of Hercules
Located just outside the city, these famous caves are steeped in legend. The opening that faces the sea is shaped like the map of Africa – a natural wonder worth seeing.
Relax on Tangier Beach
Enjoy the sunshine along Tangier’s beach promenade. You’ll find cafés, ice cream stands, and space to unwind by the sea.
Cap Spartel
This scenic point marks the spot where the Atlantic and Mediterranean meet. It’s a great place for sunset views and photos.
A Rich Cultural Blend
Tangier has long been a meeting place of cultures. You’ll hear Arabic, French, Spanish, and even English spoken in the streets. Its cafés, bookshops, and galleries reflect a lively artistic scene.
In the 20th century, it attracted famous writers and artists such as Paul Bowles, William S. Burroughs, and Henri Matisse. Today, that bohemian spirit still lives on in the city’s cafés and cultural centres.
A City with a Spanish Connection
Tangier’s history is closely tied to Spain. It’s just 14 kilometres across the sea. Over the centuries, Tangier was ruled by various powers – including Spain.
In the early 20th century, Spain controlled part of northern Morocco, including areas around Tangier. Even today, the Spanish influence is clear. You’ll find Spanish architecture, churches, and many locals who speak Spanish fluently.
There are also strong modern ties. Ferries run daily between Tangier and Spain, making it easy for visitors to cross the water.
A Glimpse into the Past
Tangier’s history dates back thousands of years. It was once a Phoenician trading post, then part of the Roman Empire. Later, it was ruled by Arabs, Portuguese, English, and finally returned to Moroccan control.
In the 20th century, Tangier became an International Zone – governed by several countries at once. This gave it a unique identity and made it a hotspot for diplomacy, business, and art.
