The sultan's palace, Dar el Makhzen, with Volubilis mosaics and the map of the two shores.
Tip: 30 DH adults, 15 DH ages 12-18, 5 DH under 12. Closed TUESDAYS: the orange-tree courtyard is the best photo and it costs nothing to look in from Bab el Assa.

The 19th-century house of diplomacy, now full of Orientalists who painted Tangier.

Show on mapMusée de la Fondation Lorin · Medina
A 19th-century synagogue packed with black-and-white photographs of international Tangier.

The first grand theatre built in Africa, from 1913, with its tiled art nouveau façade.
Tip: You cannot go in: it is still a building site. Spain donated it to Morocco and the restoration, costing over 25 million dirhams, was past 80% complete at the end of 2025, with no reopening date announced. You look at it from the street, and it is worth it.

The city's hinge: medina on one side, new town on the other, and everybody in between.
Tip: The name marks Mohammed V's speech of 9 April 1947, the first to ask for independence out loud, and he gave it here. Ask for the square as "Socco" and people know it; by its long name, almost nobody does.

The mansion of the sultan's representative during the International Zone, now an official residence.
Tip: You cannot go inside, but the walk through Marshan to get here explains more about the International Zone than any plaque: the mendoub chaired the Legislative Assembly where seats were handed out by nationality.

A balcony thrown open over the port, the Strait and, with luck, the Spanish coast.

The 17th-century English tower, a relic of brief British Tangier, leaning over the cliff.

The Grand Socco's 1938 cinema, brought back as a film archive and café with its own programme.

Seventy hectares of pine and eucalyptus above the Atlantic, Tangier's green lung.
Tip: Seventy hectares, open 24 hours and free. It carries the name of Ion Perdicaris, the Greek-American kidnapped here in 1904 by the bandit Raisuli, the episode that nearly dragged the United States into war with Morocco.

The signpost that marks, one arrow each way, where the two seas part.
Tip: The photo everyone takes. The geography is blurrier than the sign: the Strait's official boundary runs further east, but nobody comes here for that.

Broad sand and Atlantic waves at the foot of the cape, with fish shacks right on the beach.

The Tangerines' own cove, under the Marshan cliff, with waves and no tourists.
Tip: You come down a long staircase from Marshan. It is a neighbours' and surfers' beach, not a parasol one: in October there are more boards than towels.

The sandy bay running from the port to Malabata, with its newly rebuilt seafront promenade.

The eastern end of the bay, quieter, looking across to the cape and lighthouse.

The lookout at the bay's far end, with the lighthouse and a storybook castle beside it.

The new marina where freighters used to tie up, with a promenade over the Strait.
Tip: Here is the key almost nobody tells you: Tanger Ville port gave up cargo and kept ONLY passengers. The boats to Tarifa leave from here, a walk from the medina.

The city-centre ferry terminal, where the fast boats leave for Tarifa in one hour.
Tip: HERE, in the centre, there is exactly one route: TARIFA, run by FRS, Intershipping and Baleària, one hour across. Algeciras, Barcelona, Sète and Genoa all leave from TANGER MED, 45 km east. If someone says Algeciras, it is not here.

The city airport, named after the most famous traveller Tangier ever produced.
Tip: Ibn Battuta was born in Tangier in 1304 and spent thirty years on the road: three times Marco Polo's mileage. There is an AE bus from the airport to Tanger Ville station, but the petit taxi is the practical choice.

The rebuilt stadium of over 75,000 seats where Ittihad Tanger plays.
Tip: It goes by Grand Stade de Tanger and also Ibn Batouta Stadium: both names circulate, even on signage. The athletics track came out and it reopened on 14 November 2025, football-only. It is far from the centre: reckon half an hour by taxi.
🚇 4.9 km from the Castilla Bvd. Mly. Soulayman stop, head of buses L26 and L16: petit taxi, or a grand taxi with the price agreed before you get in.

The 1950 bullring, abandoned for decades, a ghost of the Spanish era.

A medina palace with low tables, brass lamps and a music show.

Big-table Moroccan cooking, tanjia, pastilla and mint tea at any hour.
Tip: Careful with attributing dishes: tanjia belongs to MARRAKECH, not Tangier, however alike the names look. What is Tangier here is the fish and the seafood pastilla.

Stepped terraces over the cliff since 1921, mint tea and the whole Strait in front.
Tip: It is cheap, it is plastic and there are no bookings: bring small coins and walk down to the lowest terrace, the one almost nobody uses. What is documented is that Burroughs and Choukri were regulars; the Rolling Stones story circulates without paperwork.

A tiny Kasbah room with Rolling Stones photographs on the wall since forever.

Mirrors, dark wood and waistcoated waiters: the café where International Zone politics happened.

A little Kasbah room where an orchestra of old men plays Andalusi music every afternoon.

An old-school Spanish pastry shop, ensaimadas, churros and a tiled counter.

The Socco's Moroccan pastry shop, trays of gazelle horns and chebakia.

Handmade Tangier nougat, produced in the medina since the middle of last century.

A neighbourhood pastry shop high in the Kasbah, tray sweets and warm bread.

A café in the upper medina, stool and tea-glass kind, no concessions.

A medina house devoted to tarab, classical Arab music, with tea and pastry.

Specialty coffee and long breakfasts in the new town, with a serious machine.

A downtown tea salon, cake counter and lifelong regulars.

An old-time café, period name and a fixed congregation.

A modern café in the Iberia quarter, pastry and good coffee.

Rif countrywomen come down in tasselled hats to sell cheese, vegetables and oil.

The Boulevard Pasteur's legendary bookshop, open since 1949 and recently rescued.

The best-known antiques and Berber textiles shop in the Tangier medina.
