Just follow the signs to "Port" or "Maritime Station", visible on the main avenues and access roads.
The roads leading to the terminal are well maintained and traffic is usually smooth.

2. By taxi
Getting to the Port of Ceuta by taxi is one of the most convenient and direct options, especially if you are traveling with luggage or prefer not to worry about parking.
From the city center –for example, from the Plaza de África or Paseo del Revellín area– the trip to the maritime terminal usually takes between 5 and 8 minutes, depending on traffic.
Taxi fares are regulated, and the average price of the ride ranges between €5 and €8 during daytime hours. At night, on Sundays, or public holidays, a small surcharge may apply.
The main taxi stop is located right in front of the Maritime Station entrance, so you'll be dropped off just a few meters from the access control.
There are also stops throughout the city, especially in high-traffic areas such as:
- Avenida Alcalde Sánchez Prados, near the Tarajal border crossing.
- Plaza de los Reyes, one of the most central squares.
- Paseo del Revellín and Plaza de África, common pick-up points for passengers heading to the port.
- Bus station, if you are arriving from another town.
If you prefer, you can also request a taxi by phone or through local apps, indicating that your destination is the Maritime Station at the Port of Ceuta. Drivers are familiar with this route and usually know the ferry schedules, so they will take you directly to the correct access point.
3. By public transport
Reaching the Port of Ceuta by public transport is an affordable and practical option, especially if you don't have a vehicle or prefer to move around the city without worrying about parking.
Ceuta's urban bus network connects the main neighborhoods and shopping areas with the maritime terminal through several lines running frequently throughout the day.
The most commonly used bus lines to reach the port are:
- Line 2 (City Center – Port): connects the city center with the port area in about 10 minutes, with departures every 15–20 minutes.
- Line 7 (Hadú – Maritime Station): connects the Hadú district with the port, ideal if you are staying in the upper part of the city.
