How long should I spend in Tangier?
The amount of time you should spend in Tangier depends on your travel itinerary and personal preferences.
If you’re only visiting Tangier as a stopover or as a starting point for exploring other destinations in Morocco, then you can probably see the main sights in a day or two. This would include visiting the Kasbah Museum, the Grand Socco, and the medina (old town) with its narrow streets and colorful markets.
However, if you’re interested in exploring Tangier more deeply, soaking in its unique blend of cultures, and experiencing its vibrant art and music scene, then you may want to spend several days or even a week in the city. This will give you more time to discover hidden gems, such as the American Legation Museum, the Caves of Hercules, and the stunning beaches along the Mediterranean coast.
Overall, I would suggest spending at least 2-3 days in Tangier to get a good taste of the city’s culture and history.
