Explore the iconic blue-hued buildings of Chefchaouen, Morocco, featuring traditional architecture and vibrant facades.
Story
Chefchaouen’s blue-painted lanes climb the Rif foothills around a medina, kasbah and neighbourhood shops. Take time for the details: a shaded doorway, woven textiles, bread from a local bakery and mountain views beyond the roofs.
Explore the old town on foot, allowing for steps and slopes. Check the kasbah’s current visiting arrangements before planning an interior visit. Akchour and Talassemtane are separate excursions: arrange transport and a road suited to the weather and your walking ability. Ask before photographing residents or entering private courtyards.
