Tarifa to Tanger Ville is the quickest and most convenient way to reach the centre of Tangier, sailing from mainland Europe's southernmost town directly into the old city's port. Fast ferries make the hop across the Strait of Gibraltar in around an hour, depositing passengers a short walk from the medina, kasbah and the famous Petit Socco. Because Tanger Ville sits in the city itself rather than out at the freight terminal, this route is especially popular with foot passengers and those on day trips or short breaks. The crossing offers fine views back towards the Spanish coast and across to the Moroccan shore, and on clear days you can see both continents at once. Sailings run frequently in season, though the exposed Strait can occasionally disrupt the smaller fast craft in strong winds, so allow a little flexibility.
