Our guide to Chefchaouen

  1. Flair

    The blue mountain town is calm, photogenic, and wonderfully laid-back.

  2. Travel season

    Spring and fall are ideal — summers are warm but honestly quite manageable.

  3. Travel duration

    One to two days is plenty to explore all the highlights at a relaxed pace.

  4. Price level

    Moderate — and noticeably cheaper than Morocco's bigger cities.

  5. Food

    Expect Moroccan classics like tagine and fresh mint tea. Really good stuff.

  6. Transportation

    The Medina is car-free, so you'll be on foot the whole time — which is half the fun.
