Here's all you need to know about Tangier, one of the most exciting day trips from Seville.
Sitting pretty on the Mediterranean coast, Tangier is a bustling port city in northern Morocco. Easily accessed from Spain, it’s a long but straightforward day trip from Seville.
Prepare for an early start as you’re going to be out for a while! Your Seville to Tangier day trip kicks off with a pickup from the city – either at your hotel or a pre-arranged meeting point.
You’ll be traveling by air-conditioned minivan or coach, depending on the operator. The drive down to Tarifa takes around 2.5 hours, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the scenery along the way.
On arrival in Tarifa, you’ll board the fast ferry for the 45-minute crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar. Then it’s time to set foot on Moroccan soil and explore the charms of Tangier.
Enjoy a guided walking tour around the labyrinthine streets of the old medina. You’ll learn about the city’s colorful history and see both Moroccan and European influences all around.
Many Tangier day tours also include a bus tour with visits to Cape Spartel with its lighthouse and sweeping Atlantic Ocean views. You can explore the famous Hercules Cave and see the King of Morocco’s summer palace.
You’ll tuck into an authentic local lunch in a restaurant back in the city before returning to the port for the homeward journey.
The most common Tangier day trips from Seville are the guided group tours. Traveling with others is a great way of keeping costs down, so you’ll have more to spend in the souks!
Transportation is by coach or minivan, depending on the size of the group which ranges from 8 to 30 participants. A guide will accompany you throughout the day to make sure everything runs smoothly.
For the ultimate day out, book a private tour and enjoy a more exclusive experience. These excursions are just for you and your party so are a lot more intimate than the group packages.
You’ll have a personal guide and vehicle, with hotel pickups included. You’ll be shown around Tangier by an expert local to help you get the most out of your experience.
Want to spend a bit longer in Morocco? These 2-day trips from Seville include a visit to the famous blue city of Chefchaouen, as well as Tangier.
You’ll have guided tours in both places to help you get your bearings. There will be plenty of free time too if you fancy exploring by yourself.
Door-to-door transport is all part of the package for effortless transfers. You’ll stay in a traditional boutique hotel in Tangier for the full Moroccan 1001 Nights experience.
A group day trip to Morocco from Seville costs at least €300 per person. Private Tangier excursions and 2-day trips from Seville (no accommodation included) start at €400.
A camel ride is optional in most packages and costs about €30. Lunch will set you back another €20 if not included.
Your Tangier day trip is sure to be the highlight of your vacation. After all, you’ll be visiting a different continent! During your tour, you’ll get to explore the old town, as well as the coast, for a comprehensive experience.
The rich culture and captivating history of Tangier will be expertly brought to life by your guide, as you wander through the ancient medina. Life here seems to have changed little over the centuries, and it feels like a real journey back in time.
Tangier has long been Africa’s gateway to Europe, and the intoxicating blend of cultures remains present to this day. Inside the narrow alleyways of the old town, you’ll perfect your haggling skills in the souks and marvel at the authentic architecture of the Sultan’s Palace.
Out on Tangier’s coast, the Atlantic Ocean sparkles in the sun. Highlights here include Cape Spartel, which is a rocky promontory that sticks out into the Gulf of Gibraltar. This is where you’ll see the Cave of Hercules, where the legendary demi-god once slumbered.
The mild climate in northern Africa makes this destination a year-roud delight. Weather in Tangier is particularly pleasant between May and September, although it can get busy in July and August.
The shoulder months of April and November are quieter, and the weather remains ideal for exploring.
