Good to know
Practical notes
- Tangier has an airport (TNG) and hourly ferries from Tarifa, Spain — a natural northern gateway.
- Chefchaouen is about 2 hours south of Tangier by road; a private transfer is the most comfortable way.
- For more time in the Blue City, add a Chefchaouen overnight rather than returning to Tangier the same day.

Can you visit Tangier and Chefchaouen in 2 days?
Yes — Tangier and Chefchaouen are about 2 hours apart, so a two-day trip works well: a day for Tangier's kasbah and Cap Spartel, and a day for the blue medina. For a relaxed pace, overnight in Chefchaouen on the second night.
