In the northern tip of Morocco, on the coasts of Tangier where the Mediterranean and Atlantic waters converge, you'll discover a unique city with a multicultural heritage.
Stroll the streets of the White "Tangier", they are lined with lime-coated houses. Just like Delacroix or Matisse did upon arrival, let yourself be carried away by the dreamy atmosphere that covers the city. At the foot of the high walls of the "Kasbah", roam through the alleys of the great "Socco", and admire the fortress that dominates the medina. A little far away, explore the "Sultan's Palace" which is nowadays dedicated to the arts of Morocco.
Tangier is also renowned for the Spanish influence on its culture, starting with the arena that stands on the "Plaza de Torros", not to mention the "Cervantes" theatre built in 1913.
The city's strategic location has made it a melting pot of cultures throughout history. Today, this cosmopolitan heritage is reflected in its architecture, cuisine, and daily life. From the bustling medina to the modern city center, Tangier offers visitors a unique blend of European and African influences.
The legendary Caves of Hercules and Cape Spartel provide stunning natural attractions, while the Gardens of La Mendoubia offer a peaceful retreat within the city. The vibrant art scene, inspired by the many artists who have called Tangier home, continues to thrive in its numerous galleries and cultural spaces.
