Plan the approach

Save the palace pin and Place des Ferblantiers before entering the Medina. The final approach is usually on foot, whether you start from Jemaa el-Fna or a taxi drop-off.

Choose a route inside

Prioritise the Grand Courtyard, smaller riads, painted ceilings, carved plaster and zellige. A one-hour itinerary covers essentials; two hours allow closer observation.

Connect the wider day

Group Bahia with the Mellah, El Badi Palace or Dar Si Said. Planning by neighbourhood reduces repeated crossings and leaves margin for queues, heat and navigation.

Routes, entrances and room access can change. Use live directions and on-site signs on the day.
