Book hostels in Tangier

Where Africa meets Europe. Ferry port, cafés, and surprisingly cool hostels.

If you're ferrying in from Tarifa or starting a Morocco trip in the north, Tangier is your first stop. The medina has had a serious glow-up over the past decade, the cafés once haunted by the Beat writers still serve strong coffee, and hostels here are unusually modern and design-conscious compared to the rest of the country.

Highlights

  • Kasbah Museum & views over the Strait
  • Cap Spartel & Caves of Hercules
  • The rebuilt medina and souks
  • Café Hafa at sunset
  • Grand Socco on a market day

Best for

  • Travellers arriving from Spain
  • Design-conscious hostellers
  • Writers and café-loungers
  • Anyone on a Tangier–Chefchaouen–Fes route
