Finding the kasbah

The Chefchaouen Kasbah stands on Place Outa el-Hammam, the square at the heart of Chefchaouen’s medina, beside the Great Mosque.

• By taxi: ask to be taken as close as possible to Place Outa el-Hammam, and agree the fare or meter before setting off.
• On foot: check the route from your accommodation and allow extra time in warm weather.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Toilets and other facilities may be limited; ask staff when you arrive.
• Shade in the kasbah’s garden.
• Places to sit in the garden and around the square.
• Cafés nearby on Place Outa el-Hammam for refreshments.

Travel light, and bring water and sun protection. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

The Chefchaouen Kasbah is a historic fortress with uneven paths, steps and narrow stairs up its towers.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask kasbah staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the kasbah thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Leave the earthen walls, plants and museum displays untouched, and take care on the tower stairs.
• Smoking and animals are not permitted on the site.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

A little care helps protect the kasbah and its atmosphere for everyone.

Make time for a pause

Place Outa el-Hammam, in front of the kasbah, has cafés and restaurants for a meal before or after your visit.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

Bring water with you, especially on warm days.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: follow your ticket’s instructions for where to enter the kasbah.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes, sun protection and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: allow extra time for the garden, the museum and the view from the tower.
