Morocco is a short hop from Europe and a world away. Get practical advice on the medinas, the coast, and how to navigate it all with confidence.
Spain and Morocco are separated by only a short ferry ride, yet they offer two distinctly different travel experiences. Visiting both on the same trip highlights how quickly the landscapes, architecture, and cultures change across the Strait of Gibraltar.
Morocco’s cities each reveal a different side of the country, from Marrakech’s sensory overload to the medieval lanes of Fez and the blue streets of Chefchaouen. Experiencing more than one city gives a much fuller picture of Morocco than staying in just one.
A ferry across the Strait puts another continent within easy reach of southern Spain, making Tangier one of Europe’s most unusual day trips. The day goes quickly, which makes deciding how to spend your time there even more important.
