VISIT MAGHREB / Chefchaouen: gids voor de blauwe stad in het Rif, Marokko
Chefchaouen is the blue city in the Rif mountains: blue-painted streets, a small medina, and the calmest town in Morocco. This guide explains what to see in Chefchaouen — and which tours pass through it.
Chefchaouen is painted blue — the doors, the walls, the stairs. The blue streets of the old medina are the reason most travellers come, and the best time to walk them is in the morning, before the day visitors arrive.
The medina and its blue alleys, the main square with its cafes, and the view from the Spanish mosque above the town. One day is enough for the town itself; the mountains around it are for walkers.
Chefchaouen is about 2 hours from Tangier and about 4 hours from Fes. It is on the route of the northern tours: from Tangier to Fes, and from Casablanca to Fes.
The 7-day tour from Casablanca, the 8-day tour and the 7-day tour from Tangier all stop in Chefchaouen. The 3-day tour from Tangier to Fes is the shortest trip that includes the blue city.
March to May and September to November are the best months: warm days and clear light for the blue streets. In winter the Rif mountains can be cold and wet; in summer the town is busy.
The town is painted blue — the doors, the walls and the stairs. The blue streets of the old medina are the reason most travellers visit.
One day is enough for the town itself: the medina, the square and the view from the Spanish mosque. The tours stop for one night.
Yes. Chefchaouen is about 4 hours from Fes, and the 3-day tour from Tangier to Fes passes through it. A day trip is possible but long — an overnight stay is better.
