Step 2 · Trip length
How many days in Casablanca?
Pick a length and follow a ready-made Casablanca itinerary — each one sequences the sights so your days flow without backtracking.
Step 3 · Itinerary
Build your Casablanca itinerary
A good Casablanca plan bases you in one central area, groups nearby sights into each day, and leaves room to slow down. Start from a day-by-day itinerary above, then adjust the order to your dates and pace.
Step 4 · Your base
Where to base yourself
A central base cuts travel time between sights.
- Downtown. Base yourself here: Art-deco quarter — Place Mohammed V, the old medina, the central market.
- Maarif. For your itinerary: Modern shopping district — Morocco Mall nearby, cafés, restaurants.
- Corniche. An area to consider: Atlantic seafront — Rick’s Café, restaurants, beach clubs.

Step 5 · Transport
Getting around Casablanca
Tramway covers the centre; Careem and Uber are safer than petits taxis (red). Getting around while you explore: The Hassan II Mosque accepts visits during specific tour hours — book online to skip the queue.
Step 6 · Your trip
Plan by trip style
- Family trips. With kids in tow: Hassan II Mosque (the only one in Morocco non-Muslims can enter), Morocco Mall, the Corniche promenade.
- Couples. Travelling as a pair: A sunset at the Hassan II Mosque, a Rick’s Café dinner (inspired by Casablanca the film), a Habous quarter shopping evening.
- Solo travel. On your own: English limited outside hotels; Uber/Careem for safety; the city is more business hub than tourist magnet.
Step 7 · Before you go
Practical planning
Worth knowing before you go: Generally safe with normal big-city caution. Use registered taxis at night; the old medina has more aggressive touts than Marrakech. Getting around while you explore: The Hassan II Mosque accepts visits during specific tour hours — book online to skip the queue. Work these into the plan early — they affect which neighborhood to base yourself in and how much to fit into each day.
