Where Africa Meets Europe—with a Twist of Bohemian Charm
Imagine a city where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic, where Europe whispers across the sea, and where every alley hides a story. That’s Tangier, Morocco—a place that feels like it’s sitting on the edge of several worlds at once.
For decades, Tangier has drawn in artists, writers, dreamers, and travelers who are looking for something a little different. And trust us, Tangier is different in all the best ways.
Why Visit Tangier?
- That magical mix of cultures
Tangier is Moroccan, yes—but with heavy Spanish, French, and even British influence. You’ll hear multiple languages in the streets, see Moorish architecture alongside Art Deco buildings, and taste flavors that bounce from tagine to tapas in a single bite. - The Medina (Old Town)
Get lost in Tangier’s medina—a labyrinth of narrow lanes, whitewashed buildings, hidden courtyards, and vibrant souks. Unlike the hectic medinas of Marrakech or Fez, Tangier’s version feels more laid-back, but still full of life. - The Kasbah & sea views
Head up to the Kasbah, the old fortress that now offers sweeping views of the ocean. From here, you can see Spain on a clear day—and maybe even dream of hopping over. - Cafés that feel like time capsules
Tangier is known for its iconic cafés. Grab a mint tea at Café Hafa, where legends like The Rolling Stones and Paul Bowles used to hang out, and enjoy the sunset with views over the Strait of Gibraltar. - Artistic energy
Whether it’s street art, galleries, or music in a hidden courtyard, Tangier has a creative soul. It’s the kind of place where inspiration comes easy.
How to Get There
- Fly into Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport, which has direct connections to major European cities.
- Or arrive by ferry from Spain—crossing the Strait of Gibraltar takes under an hour from Tarifa.
Tangier isn’t just a place—it’s a vibe.
It’s the sound of prayer calls mixing with guitar strings. The smell of spices drifting through sea air. The light hitting a white wall at just the right angle. It’s old, it’s new, it’s layered, and it’s alive.
If you’re looking for a destination that’s full of soul and stories—
Tangier is waiting for you.
