Give your visit some room
Place Outa el-Hammam, in front of the kasbah, is the heart of the medina and is often busy. Keep your date and booking details easy to find, and allow time to cross the square to the entrance.
Bring the essentials
Chefchaouen lies at about 600 metres in the Rif mountains, so the weather can change. Comfortable shoes help on the garden paths and the tower stairs, and water and sun protection make the day easier.
A quieter way to look
After the tower, take time in the garden. Then, back on the square, look up at the octagonal minaret of the Great Mosque beside the kasbah.
