Best of Casablanca

Top itineraries and travel advice in and around Casablanca

Though a while has passed since the film of the same name was shot, Casablanca the city still has plenty going on. The main draw is the Hassan II Mosque, which holds status as the fifth-largest Muslim place of worship in the world. It’s one of the rare mosques open to non-Muslims, so all visitors go inside to experience the intricate decor and craftsmanship that went into its creation. Elsewhere in the city, the fountain plaza of Place Mohammed V is one of the most beautiful squares in the city, adjoining the skyscraper-lined Avenue de I'Armee Royale and Sacré-Coeur Cathedral cultural complex. Stroll around the port, then hit the beach promenade of La Corniche for a dip during the day or dance at night.

Previous kimkim travelers have strolled the Old Medina’s colorful tangle of textiles, lamps, ceramics, and art, oriented by the views of the minarets. In the Habous district, you can find the Mahkama du Pasha (Pascha’s Palace), a government building from the ‘50s with lavishly decorated rooms, wood carvings, and Moorish architecture still in use today.
