Algreciras is one of the largest ports in Europe and, as its popularity continues to increase, it remains a leading force within the industry for a good reason. From here, more than three million passengers board ferries to a number of destinations across mainland Europe and North Africa.

The port at Algreciras spans over 19,000 square metres and there are several things to keep passengers entertained before they board the ferries. If you need a bite to eat, there are plenty of restaurants and also a bus station and taxi rank if you wish to get into town.

Before they board ferries from Algreciras, people often enjoy the city which, despite being an industrial centre, has plenty to do for all its tourists. As the area is a popular spot for Moroccans, the town city is Spanish with an Arabian influence and the backstreets offer fine cuisine from both cultures.

Of all the destinations you can choose to travel to from Algreciras, Tangiers is one of the most popular and FRS provides regular ferries throughout the day which can complete the journey in just 2 hours, 30 minutes. Even though Tangiers is a popular destination, eight trips daily will guarantee you and yours a seat onboard.

Onboard the ferries to Tangiers, you enter a world of comfort where any request is never too much and staff is always on hand to top up your drink or ensure your comfort.
