Finding the caves

The Caves of Hercules are on the Atlantic coast near Cap Spartel, about 14 km west of Tangier.

• By taxi: show your driver the name of the caves, and agree the fare or meter before setting off.
• On foot: check the route from your accommodation and allow extra time in warm weather.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Toilets for visitors.
• Shaded corners to pause out of the sun.
• Places to sit near the entrance.
• Cafés nearby along the coast for refreshments.

Travel light, and bring water and sun protection. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

The Caves of Hercules have uneven, sometimes damp rock floors, steps and low light in places.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask cave staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the caves thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Leave the rock walls untouched, take care on wet surfaces and do not climb on the rocks.
• Smoking and animals are not permitted on the site.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

A little care helps protect the caves and keeps everyone safe.

Make time for a pause

The coast road near the caves has cafés and restaurants for a meal before or after your visit.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Bring water with you, especially on warm days.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: follow your ticket’s instructions for where to enter the caves.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes, sun protection and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: allow extra time for the chambers, the ocean opening and the coastal views.
