Chefchaouen Medina is a gem! This blue city is incredibly vibrant and beautiful, with its stunningly bright blue buildings creating a unique and enchanting atmosphere. The old buildings are well-maintained, adding to the charm of the place. As you enter the medina, you’re greeted by a cold, refreshing water stream, setting the perfect tone for your exploration. Walking through the medina is a delightful experience—every corner reveals a new shade of blue and a piece of history. Absolutely worth the visit.

Chefchaouen is an interesting city/town. It is set in a valley really. There are picturesque views of the city especially when approaching it from Fes. From afar, the city may not be as blue as it is portrayed. The Medina itself is nice. The people are friendly enough if you are the kind of person who likes to greet people. If you are not the type then best avoid eye contact. It is not that big a Medina so you shouldn’t get lost. There are various merchandise shops, restaurants as well as the famous blue decor. You will soon discover that for most buildings, the blue paint doesn’t always go all the way to the top of buildings. If your aim is to take social media photos rather than simply meander and enjoy this place then prepare to pay for your photos in certain places. There’s a saying that looks can be deceiving! Be aware that people might approach you offering accommodation (dangling keys) or to be your tour guide. Use your own discretion. Remember that you are in the midst of locals who see different faces everyday therefore it is good to observe silence where necessary whilst respecting notices displayed in the Medina. There’s plenty to eat and drink. It is fairly more expensive near the square. I would recommend at least one night stay here. There are a few gates from where you can approach the Medina. For international travellers, you may find commission free machines near Hassan II Boulevard. If you visit here from May until the summer is over, please please make you have sun protection and lots of fluid handy. It gets really hot. Worth a visit but a way to go so if you have other plans, prioritise your itinerary.

The medina itself is mesmerizing, beautiful architecture and alleyways throughout the whole city, the kasbah is beautiful and conceals a lot of history, the plaza is full of life. One thing that made me quite uncomfortable though is the amount of people trying to sell you weed and some of them get quite pushy with it. Also this probably isn't an issue to everyone but personally I don't like it when local products get repetitive, most people sell the same exact things with different prices that's it, there are a couple of unique shops but that's it. Otherwise the experience was good

Beautiful blue city of Morocco. With a lot of character in the building construction. Love the way history is preserved. Hope the place is cleaned more often. And hope this place has more public toilets. Loved how indigo dyes were used. A day well spent. A must visit place.
