Über diese Trap
Several Tangier cultural spaces close on a fixed day, so a spontaneous visit can end at a locked door. Villa Harris, the city's art museum, is closed on Tuesday, while the Galerie Delacroix at the Institut francais is closed on Monday and free to enter on the days it is open. Check the closing day before you cross town and give Tuesday to the corniche or a medina walk. Hours can change, so confirm the same morning.
