About the ride from Tangier to Tetouan

When you can tear yourself away from Tangier's beautiful borders, head east to discover the magical city of Tetouan.

Just 63.2 kilometers (39.2 miles) away on Morocco's northeastern coast, Tetouan, which faces the Alboran Sea, is blessed with spectacular coastal views.

To reach Tetouan, you can opt for a shared minivan or hire a private car to conquer the distance and travel in privacy and luxury. If you're traveling on a tighter budget, you can hop on a bus to conquer the short, one-hour journey.

What is Tetouan like?

Tetouan, one of two major Moroccan ports on the Mediterranean Sea, is located at the bottom of the green-tipped Rif Mountains in the Martial Valley.

White-square buildings sprawl across the verdant valley in tiers that follow the natural lines of the landscape in terraces. The maze-like smattering of buildings leads right up to the white-sand beaches and blue waters of the Alboran Sea.

From the beach, the mountain's silhouette looms over the city like a protective gate. The vibrant town calls to visitors with its clash of Moroccan and Andalucian architecture and culture.

The Marinid dynasty founded the city in the 13th century. In the 15th century, it became a refuge for Andalusian refugees, significantly influencing the city's art and cuisine.

Winding streets offer meanderers the chance to discover vibrant, decorated staircases leading to undiscovered layers of the city. In contrast, hilly parks beneath palm-treed lined streets provide shade for weary sightseers.

Six unmissable things to do in Tetouan

There is no shortage of fun for tourists amid Tetouan's tangled streets. You should follow your feet to discover hidden treasures, but remember to check out these top activities, too:

Wander the medina: Despite being a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Tetouan's medina is not as heavily visited by tourists, which means visitors benefit from a less touristic atmosphere. Set aside a full day to discover the treasures inside the 5-kilometer (3-mile) rampart walls.

Don't forget to check out a few of the medina's ornate doorways after you've exhausted yourself exploring the artisan stalls, mosques, and the Royal Palace.
Explore the Tetouan Centre for Modern Art: This church-like building houses a vast collection of Iberian-Moroccan art, displaying numerous artistic treasures.
Go shopping for artistic gems: Tetouan is famed for its artistic heritage, so don't waste an opportunity to take a piece of it home.

Check out Dar Sanaa, Tetouan's school of traditional arts and crafts, for the best selection of souvenirs. The building itself is a work of art, and you'll find plenty of artisans to admire within its walls. You can also watch them work to discover the secrets behind their talents.
Conquer the Rif Mountains: Numerous tours offer trips into the Rif Mountains to explore its faces on mountain bikes or on foot. More adventurous travelers can go caving or canyoning to test their physical limits.
Visit the Archaeological Museum: History lovers will adore the bountiful finds here, especially the stunning Islamic and Roman mosaics. Discover traces of past civilizations from across North Africa and beyond through the Sumerian, Roman, Islamic, and Moroccan displays.
Go to the coast: Tetouan's beachside is just 20 minutes from the city and centers around Tamuda Bay, a new luxury development. Check out the local fishing village and visit Smir Laguna nearby to marvel at the thousands of migratory birds that rest there.
