An eclectic mix of architectural styles line the streets reflecting the international past of Tangier. Stroll past these and drink a café au laît in The Gran Café de Paris with its cork lined walls where Tennessee Williams and Jean Genet once sat. The café was also a renowned meeting spot for spies when Tangier became an international zone in 1923.
In the Kasbah galleries, shops and cafés can be found inside restored buildings. The whitewashed medina is home to an array of shops and bazaars, it is in the medina where you will find Tangier's best-known museum, set within the old American Legation building. On the outskirts of the medina lies the weavers' souk, the Fondouk, where looms clatter away and artisanal textiles can be bought.
