Planning your trip to Marrakesh
Best time to visit
March to May and September to November are the most comfortable. Summers are very hot, and winter days are mild with cold nights. Opening hours change during Ramadan, which moves each year.
How many days you need
Three days covers the old medina, the markets, several palaces and gardens and a day trip toward the mountains or the coast.
Getting around
The medina is a maze of narrow lanes that cars cannot enter, so you will walk, and it helps to download an offline map. Taxis and ride-hailing help outside the walls. Agree the fare before starting a taxi ride.
What to skip
Unofficial guides may offer to lead you and then ask for payment. A polite no is fine, and bargaining in the markets is normal and can be friendly.
