Hotels near Ceuta Heliport - JCU, Ceuta

Ceuta is a lovely city. The weather is mild. There are historical sites to visit, such as statues and information on ancient greek philosophers (Aristotelis, Plato) and large statues of Hercules and Kalypso. The city is clean and well maintained. There are many options for shopping. The restaurants are good and the food is reasonably priced. The beaches are great. A big challenge is trying to find parking space - this is extremely difficult at all hours of the day or night.

Ceuta is a beautiful place to visit. Historically, it has several tales to tell. Some of the restaurants we found were incredible. The fish tapas are stunningly delicious. The only negative detail about our stay in Ceuta was the Hotel we chose Oh Nice Ulises Ceuta - I don't recommend this Hotel and if you do skip the breakfast.

Fantastic historical fort, small, free museums, though without much content. Renowned city gate closed without any information provided. Cathedral seemed permanently closed, again without any explanation. Town hall should have been accessible but no information about a visit provided on-line or at the site. Beautifully kept town with lovely flower arrangements and great cleanliness. Lots of shops.

Ceuta: A Unique Spanish City in Africa Ceuta is a fascinating Spanish enclave located on the northern coast of Africa. Although it borders Morocco, stepping across the border immediately places you in Spain. The city offers a distinctly Spanish atmosphere, complete with tapas bars, excellent restaurants, and quiet, uncrowded beaches. In the city center, you’ll also find a variety of modern shops that benefit from tax advantages, making prices lower than in mainland Spain — a bonus for shoppers. A highlight of the year is the Fiestas Patronales, held from late June to early August. This lively festival features a large feria (fair) and numerous cultural and religious events honoring the Virgen de África, Ceuta’s patron saint — a celebration well worth experiencing. Getting There Reaching Ceuta can be a bit of an adventure. You can either take a ferry from mainland Spain or cross the land border from Morocco. Be aware that in summer, the Moroccan border can become extremely busy. Additionally, Moroccan rental cars are usually not insured for Ceuta, so driving across may not be an option. If you're crossing from Morocco, the fastest and simplest way is on foot. Once across, taxis are readily available on both sides of the border, and for under €10, you can be in Ceuta’s city center in minutes.
