Bahia Palace stands on the southern side of Marrakech’s Medina, close to the Mellah and Place des Ferblantiers. The final approach is easiest on foot because cars cannot follow every narrow street.

From central Marrakech
If you are already inside the Medina, walk toward the Mellah and Place des Ferblantiers, then follow signs for Palais Bahia. From Jemaa el-Fna, use the Riad Zitoun el Jdid side of the square and keep the palace name ready on your phone for directions.
Arriving by taxi
Ask for Palais Bahia or Place des Ferblantiers. A taxi will normally leave you at a nearby vehicle-access point, followed by a short walk. Confirm the fare or insist on the meter before setting off, and avoid accepting an unsolicited detour from someone who says the palace is closed.

Medina lanes can weaken GPS accuracy. Save the palace pin and your return destination before leaving Wi-Fi. Note a visible landmark near your accommodation; it is often more useful to a driver than a riad name hidden inside a pedestrian lane.
