    Discover the city's bohemian heart

    Morocco’s northernmost city, looking out across the Strait of Gibraltar to Spain, Tangier is a place with a fascinating history. Known as ‘The Door of Africa’, it has changed hands dozens of times, from the ancient Carthaginians, Roman Empire and early Islamic caliphate, to Portuguese and Spanish rule, and the 20th century when it became an International Zone and an infamous hive of spies and international espionage.

    It’s also long been a favourite of artists, a multicultural melange of Muslim, Christian and Jewish communities along with a stream of immigrants from Europe and Africa, attracting painters such as Delacroix and Matisse, as well as being a favourite haunt of Beat writers Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg.

    Today, now firmly a part of Morocco, it’s a thriving city that still retains its bohemian heart in the old Kasbah where you’ll find bustling marketplaces, informal dining venues and occasional views across to Europe which is just a minutes away by ferry.

    Highlights

    Set off on a private tour to the Caves of Hercules and Cap Spartel, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea

    Walk in the footsteps of the Beat Generation, from the Socco squares to the Hotel Continental, stopping at the American Legation Museum on a walking tour

    Shop for bargains and keepsakes at traditional market stalls, stopping for a mint tea or two along the way

    Spend your time in this coastal city wandering down cobbled streets, browsing markets and discovering just what has entranced artists and poets alike over the decades.

    When to visit
