Why Morocco
Why Portuguese travellers love Morocco.
Portuguese travellers come to Tangier for the contrast and the closeness: a white kasbah and medina spilling down to the Strait of Gibraltar, café terraces looking across to Spain, and an easy gateway north to blue Chefchaouen and the Rif — all in one welcoming city where a private trip, and even a ferry crossing from Spain, turns a long-held dream into an easy, well-run reality.
Getting there
Flights from Portugal
Lisbon and Porto connect to Tangier (TNG) in around 2.5 hours, with Royal Air Maroc, TAP and Ryanair; Casablanca is a handy onward hub with the Al Boraq train north to Tangier.

Do you need a visa?
As an EU/Schengen passport holder you enter Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days. No advance visa is needed for tourism — a passport valid for the duration of your stay is enough, though six months' validity is the safe standard.
Time difference
Tangier is about 1 hour ahead of Portugal (it stays on UTC+1 year-round), which makes for an easy, eastward adjustment.
When to go
The best time to visit.
April–June and September–October are ideal for Tangier — warm, breezy days on the Strait of Gibraltar, soft Atlantic-Mediterranean light over the kasbah and medina, and calm crossings if you arrive by ferry from Spain. July–August is hot and lively with beach crowds; winters are mild and green, perfect for quiet walks and day trips north to Chefchaouen.
