Tangier's medina and key central areas like the marketplace and Corniche are well-suited for walking, allowing visitors to engage directly with the city's vibrant street life and historical architecture. These areas are densely packed with shops, cafés, and cultural sites that are best experienced on foot.

Like in most Moroccan cities, petits taxis are used as mass transit quite frequently in Tangier, with thousands of the light blue cabs buzzing about the city. Fares within the old medina and port area should rarely rise above 50 dirhams ($5), but expect to pay a little more if going to City Center for shopping or out to Parc de Jeux, and as much as 100 or more (~$10) to go to Cap Spartel.

Tangier offers some opportunities for tourists interested in cycling, but it's not as prominently featured or as developed for cycling as some other cities might be. The city's hilly terrain and bustling streets can make cycling challenging, particularly in the medina and central areas where traffic and narrow streets prevail. It also does not have a dedicated cycling infrastructure like extensive bike lanes or trails.

For those who are interested in cycling in Tangier, there are rental services such as Bybike, which provides a range of bicycles suitable for navigating the city streets or for more leisurely rides along less crowded areas. Bybike offers both short rentals for a few hours and longer options, allowing visitors to explore at their own pace. Consider exploring the outskirts or less crowded parts of the city, where the traffic is lighter and the scenery includes both coastal views and more rustic landscapes. Remember to plan your route ahead of time to ensure a safer and more enjoyable cycling experience.

ALSA operates a bus service in Tangier, but since buses can't go to the old medina, which is right next to the Port of Tanger-Ville, your use of these buses might be limited. For areas further east, such as the Quartier Mozart, Tanger City Center, Parc de Jeux, and the Villa Harris, you will need to take the I5 bus. Downloading the ALSA app can save you time; program your card in the app, scan your phone when you get on the bus, and you can board with no hassle. For more information, visit www.alsa.ma/en/tanger.

For excursions to locations like Cap Spartel and the Hercules Caves to the west, transport such as public buses are recommended. Note that the closest bus that drops riders within the vicinity of Cap Spartel does so around Rmilat Park, about a mile to the east (bus route 5, not to be confused with I5 discussed above).
