The entrance to the Andalusian gardens is through the smaller door, down the steps from the main gate. In this entrance you are less likely to be harassed by informal “guides”. Outside the gardens you will find a cozy outdoor café with a nice ocean view.

• Hassan Tower and the Royal Mausoleum, with the Royal Guards – Free Admission

• Old Medina, with its various street markets (souqs). The side street leading to the Kasbah (Rue des Consuls) is full of history and traditional shops. The Tourist Police is also stationed there. The main market streets are Rue Souika and Avenue Mohammed V.

• Chellah – old city founded by Carthaginians, conquered by Romans and later passed under Arab rule, just to be abandoned and settled again by unbelievable numbers of birds, namely storks. This breeding ground bubbles with bird life in spring, including stork nest on the top of old minaret. Also, historical layers are visible, with outstanding Roman and Moroccan parts. You can walk there from centre-ville, but it’s a long walk. Admission is 70 MAD and it’s open until 5:30 PM.

• National Archaeological Museum

• Bank Al Maghrib Museum (Currently under renovation, no admittance)

• The Beach and the cornice around the Casbah, offering great photo ops to the citadel.

• Royal Palace : It’s pretty huge, you can’t really visit it (but it’s a nice walk !), the armed guards might allow you walk from one entrance to another especially if you look like a tourist.

• Modern Art Museum: It is across from the train station, and has new exhibitions frequently. Well worth a walk through
