Brief

  • Chefchaouen’s blue medina is largely pedestrian, with steep lanes and many stairs. Comfortable walking shoes are useful, especially when visiting the Spanish Mosque or nearby Rif Mountain trails.
  • Chefchaouen has no airport or railway station. Visitors generally arrive by CTM or Supratours bus, grand taxi, private transfer, or rental car from Tangier, Tetouan, or Fes (lovinmorocco.com).
  • Try local Moroccan dishes such as tagine, couscous, bissara, goat cheese from the Rif, fresh bread, and mint tea. In the medina, favor food cooked to order and busy establishments.
  • Akchour waterfalls are a popular half-day excursion from Chefchaouen. Allow extra time for mountain roads and arrange return transport in advance.

Safety and health

  • Avoid swimming, wading, bathing, or washing in freshwater streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, or untreated pools because of schistosomiasis risk. (cdc.gov)
  • Protect yourself from sand-fly bites, particularly during evening outdoor activities and countryside excursions, because leishmaniasis occurs in Morocco. (cdc.gov)
  • Drink sealed bottled water and be cautious with ice, uncooked produce, buffets, and unrefrigerated condiments. Healthcare options in Chefchaouen and rural areas are more limited than in Morocco’s major cities, so comprehensive travel insurance is advisable. (wikivoyage.org)

Recent News

  • Morocco is due to hold national elections on 23 September 2026. Political campaigning and debate are intensifying, including discussion of migration and the Ceuta border episode. Travellers should expect increased political activity and possible localized demonstrations, while no specific disruption in Chefchaouen was reported. (aljazeera.com)
