Its cosmopolitan past lingering still in the air
Con
Tangier earns its bad reputation: Tourists are fair game, lots of beggars and shop hawkers, hard to get rid of your 'new friends', violence is too commonplace
In a nutshell
Not the best place for first time visitors to Morocoo
American Legation - not just for Americans.
Urban_Kitten Says: Granted, I'm not American and 99% of my friends aren't either - but I'm still amazed that not one of my friends who have visited Morocco has visited the American Legation in Tangier.A working legation from 1821 until 1956, it is now a museum and serves to illustrates through...
jayjayc Says: You'll get a cup of water for 1 MAD from this man. Has a water jug right on his back with a hose and faucet on tail of it. He's on the street for help when you're at thirst. I did not pay him for the cup of water though, but for the photo. Nice!
jayjayc Says: From Tanger Train Station, rode a cab going to city center. It's near the port where all ferries are available going to Gibraltar, almost south of Spain. Heard it was an hour journey.From city center, asked many cab drivers / negotiated how much would it take to bring me to...
Arriving in Tangier for 1 night, 2 day visit
angiebabe Says: I would, as I usually did go through to Asilah and stay the night there - its a beautiful, small clean, hassle free, whitewashed fortress town beside the sea - only 45 minutes from Tangier - you can catch a taxi straight from Tangier port (dont catch the train to Asilah as...
Merrouch Says: The best way to get a ferry from spain to Tangier is from Tarifa but not to med-port because then you will be about 40 km far from the town of Tangier but if you take the ferry to madina-port then you will be in the center of the town.There's a ferry office at the port where...
solopes Says: Tangier displays one of the largest beaches that I saw in Morocco. The weather in mid September was good, but the beach was empty. Why? Dangerous sea? Maybe, but the emptiness and abandoned look were not attractive.

keeweechic Says: At the lookout spot at Cap Spartel is a seafood restaurant – the only restaurant I saw. They serve seafood, salads both in light lunches and main meals. At the front of the restaurant are souvenir sellers.

matcrazy1 Says: Most visitors get to Tanger for 1 or 2-day visit either by passenger ferry or faster hydrofoil from Spain (Algeciras) or Gibraltar. Some buy a ferry/bus tour: Ceuta (ferry from Algeciras) - Tetouan - Tangier (details: follow the link given below).But I arrived to Tangier by...
transportation from Tanger Med Port
mcassimi Says: I saw many people asking about how to get from Tanger Med Port (the new port of Tangier) to the city. It's simple there are 2 ways: Either you can get the free bus (CTM) to take you to Tangier (at no cost) or if you don't want to waste time, there are 2 car rental agencies...

Traditional art gallery, Kasba: Rugs, jallabads, tourist souvenirs
patsy0 Says: The shop is on three floors, top floor is full of beautiful oriental rugs, second floor crammed with wooden carvings, boxes, silver jewellery, and ground floor was full of traditional Morrocan clothing. We were taken to the shop by our tour guide, Hassan (a local university...
solopes Says: It was fun to watch the local market in Ksar-es-Seghir, near Tangier, with all the women in... uniform. We had already seen that striped djellaba, but never saw so many people together, and all with the sane pattern. The village seems poor, the market was poor, but the...
taoumitour Says: How would you think a tour in 4 languages would be ?While the bus in driving the guide that speaks the 4 languages is human beeing.when you buy the excursion in spain, make sure about the language.... And in case if there are many expect that you will get what the other...
grandmaR Says: Part of our tour from Spain to Tangier involved a visit to the free Forbes Museum of Military Miniatures. It was very interesting, but hard to take pictures because of the glare of the glass cases.Malcolm Forbes, who was an American publisher (1919-1990) of Forbes magazine...
solopes Says: Maybe the sea is dangerous or cold in this northern coast, maybe the lack of infra-structures or the hard access keep people away, but the very nice beach of this small village near Tangier seems to deserve another kind of human presence.Was it a bad day?
keeweechic Says: Tangier enjoys a Mediterranean climate and it can get quite hot during the summer months. If you are trying to miss the rainy season then late spring through to early summer is a good time. The winters are fairly mild with an average of about 20C, but can also be wet.

Better surroundings than the city itself
Tanger was the second place and city I visited in Morocco (after Tetouan) and to be honest it was not my favourite city in Morocco. It seemed to me too dirty, too strange, too unpleasant even...
