How beautiful is Tangier! You can stay at the Dar Sultan, the Dar Nour or the famous Grand Hotel Nord Pinus. Wander in the Kasbah district, around the Grand Socco and Petit Socco souks, visit Saint Andrew’s church and admire the facade of the Gran Teatro Cervantes. To have a cup of coffee, you can choose between Cinéma Rif, Gran Café de Paris, Café Baba, Café Central or Café Hafa. For drinks, the rooftop of North Pinus is unrivalled, but you can also enjoy some music at Les Fils du Détroit, or at the El Morocco Club speakeasy. As for the restaurants, the choice is large: Salon Bleu for lunch, Saveur de Poisson, Chez Hassan Bab Kasbah, El Dorado, or enjoy a couscous on the terrace of Dar El Kasbah.
