Planning your visit
- Where it is. The Grand Socco (Place du 9 Avril) is in Medina entrance, Tangier. Use the map below for walking directions, or send the pin to your taxi driver — a petit taxi across the city centre is normally under 30 MAD on the meter.
- Paying. Carry some cash in dirham. Larger places take cards, but smaller cafés and family kitchens in Tangier often do not, and card machines go offline more than you would like.
- Getting around after. If you are combining this with a day trip, an activity or an airport run, we can arrange private transport so you are not negotiating fares on the street.
