The most unique, authentic place in all if Morocco. Words cannot begin to describe the generosity of the people who live. Cannot wait to visit again!

We have seen the blue photos all over Morocco and finally visited this Blue hillside town and had an enjoyable day wandering the blue streets. Very friendly people when not trying to sell you someting.

Chefchaouen is what's great about Morocco: the diverse cultural history, a rich architectural setting, stunning landscape, brilliant food, and all the authentic trinkets your heart desires. It is also an incredibly relaxed place to wonder around for a day. Very walking friendly city with tons of great places to eat and things to see.

I was at first apprehensive about coming to Chefchaouen from Tangiers as a daytrip but it all worked out great and the Old City (the Medina) is definitely the highlight. I took the 8:00am CTM bus from the Tangier Bus Station and then from Chefchaouen took the 3:15pm bus back to Tangier. It was 75 Dirham total (about $7). It... More

You would think that everybody was in on a practical joke to make you wide eyed - but no, it seems like it´s just the way people in Chauoen like their houses, strests, windows, doors, everything blue! Walking around the old city is amazing - it feels kind of like a maze and there are lots of cute little shops... More

We went to spend the day to Chefchaouen in april, it is bigger than we expected!!! But we just walked the Medine and thought it was beautiful, everything is blue. If you do a little hike you can see all the city from the mountain, it is across the river. Just stunning!!! I highly recommend this city, it was a... More

Wandering through cobbled streets, many shops and restaurants to enjoy. Love the mix of residents and hippie tourists.

Chefchaouen in one word? Blue. In two? Magical blue. Full of labyrinth streets and blue toned walls, this place is mysterious and relaxed. Incredibly so, it is not very publicized as a major touristic spot in Morocco. Go now, before it is. You'll loooove it!

Being only fifteenth century, this is one of Morocco's newest cities. I could walk endlessly, up, down and around its lanes, catches glimpses of the stark Riff Mountains behind, the Berber women in their tall straw hats with purple trim and the red and white striped cloths they wrap around their skirts. I'm sorry that I didn't buy more of... More

Lovely old city. All the houses are painted blue and white. It is very clean, tidy and felt safe. I loved exploring the narrow alleyways and sitting in the cages. I walked up the surrounding hills and had great views. The highlight of our weeks trip to morocco..
