Tangier Walking Tour
Tangier, Morocco
Why Walk Tangier
Perched on Morocco's northern tip, Tangier has long been a haven for artists, spies, and dreamers. The hilltop kasbah offers sweeping views across the Strait of Gibraltar to Spain, just fourteen kilometers away. The medina's winding lanes are lined with whitewashed houses, blue-shuttered cafes, and galleries that speak to the city's bohemian past. The new waterfront promenade connects the port to the beach, while the Petit Socco square remains the heart of the old city's social life. Walking here means moving between continents, cultures, and centuries within a few city blocks.
