Tangier Medina and Kasbah Walking Tour

About the Tangier walking tour

Tangier was an international zone from 1923 to 1956, run by a committee of foreign powers, and it attracted spies, bankers, painters and writers. That history is still visible in the streets, and a good guide makes it come alive.

You start at the Grand Socco, the busy square at the gate of the medina, and visit the Tangier American Legation, the first property the United States owned abroad, now a museum. You then climb through the medina to the Petit Socco, the small square of old cafés, and up to the Kasbah, with its museum in the former sultan’s palace and views across the Strait to Spain.

The walk ends with mint tea on the terraces of Café Hafa, open since 1921 on the cliff above the sea.
