Tired after a long day sightseeing in a Free Walking Tour in Casablanca? Enjoy the retro atmosphere of the extraordinary Rick's Café, an eatery inspired by the film ‘Casablanca,’ with cocktails (and, of course, a piano player). If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, check out Ain Diab (also known as The Corniche), a stunning promenade along the Atlantic coast and near the city center. This beach features a gorgeous waterscape as well as shops, restaurants, and bars. Another mesmerizing beach is Plage Lalla Meryem, a popular and lively spot during the summer months. For an authentic Moroccan shopping experience, stop by Habous, a local hang-out lined with artisan shops and stores. Lastly, don’t leave Casablanca without checking adventure excursions outside the city. Apart from day trips to Rabat or Marrakech, there are private operators who will take you to fun desert safaris (some include food tasting and even a camel ride).
Morocco’s coast is teeming with beauty, starting with Casablanca. Situated in the north-west of the country, this city is a popular hub for art, shopping, and Mauresque architecture. There are a few Free Walking Tours in Casablanca that will help you get around the city with ease. Learn the best landmarks to visit, how to get there, and what to avoid next to a reliable local guide. A Free Historical Center City Tour of Casablanca is an excellent overview of the city that walks you through the most iconic sights. The overall tour takes approximately 2,5 hours; however, please note that this depends also on the group's dynamics. Other tours worth mentioning are the Tour of Casablanca's Central Market and the Moroccan Food Tour. The first one will guide you through the labyrinthine medina, while the second one will introduce you to exotic ingredients, delicious typical dishes and even table manners.
Casablanca Walking Tours Highlights
It’s no wonder that this historical, cosmopolitan town was the inspiration behind the famous film ‘Casablanca’. With breathtaking scenery as far as the eye can see, there is something for everyone here. If you want to see landmarks such as the famous Place Mohammed V, Notre Dame de Lourdes, and walk the maze-like streets of the medina, we recommend joining a Casablanca Free Walking Tour. Pay particular attention to Hassan II Mosque; it’s the largest mosque in Africa, and the 3rd largest in the world! For a fair price, non-Muslims can also visit the inside. If you’re interested in Casablanca’s history, French influence, and multicultural atmosphere, explore the neat streets of Habous Quarter, a New Medina built in the 1930s by French colonizers with a charming colonial style. Additionally, we recommend paying a visit to three more out of the beaten path cultural hubs: the Chorfi Art Gallery, Villa des Arts, and Galerie Athar.
