What to Do in Chefchaouen? The Complete Guide to Morocco's Blue City

Chefchaouen, nicknamed Morocco's blue city, is one of the most captivating destinations in the north of the country. Its blue-washed alleys, traditional houses, small squares, and mountain scenery make it an ideal spot for a few days' stay.

Start your visit in the Chefchaouen Medina. Wander its lanes, take in the traditional doorways, and soak up the town's peaceful atmosphere.

Plaza Outa el Hammam is another essential stop — take in the traditional architecture, sip a mint tea, and continue your stroll through the Medina.

A few minutes away is Ras El Maa, one of Chefchaouen's landmark springs — a pleasant spot to see another side of the town and cool off by the water.

Nature lovers can also plan a day trip to Akchour, famous for its waterfalls, hiking trails, and Rif mountain scenery.

To make the most of the Medina, choosing a riad in the Chefchaouen Medina close to the main sights makes it easy to explore the town on foot.
