Casablanca Travel Guide: Must-See Attractions
Today, I'm listing out all the must-visit spots in Casablanca for you! 🌆 Hassan II Mosque (Mosquée Hassan II) Majestic from afar, exquisitely detailed up close. The third-largest mosque in the world, built by over 6,000 artisans and artists in 7 years at a cost of $540 million. Part of it extends over the Atlantic Ocean—a must-visit in Morocco! 🛤️ Corniche (Seaside Promenade) Stroll along the boulevard, feel the ocean breeze, and soak in Casablanca’s romantic vibes. Plenty of prime-location cafés and restaurants offer stunning sea views. 🌊☕️ (Fun fact: The famous "toilet with a view" is at the cliffside restaurant Cabestan!) 🏛️ Old Medina (Ancienne Médina) ✨ The heart and soul of Casablanca! ✨ Narrow alleys, ancient buildings, and traditional markets transport you back centuries. Hunt for handcrafted treasures and spices, and soak up authentic Moroccan culture. Famous spots like Rick’s Café, La Sqala, and Dar Dada are all here! 🕊️ Mohammed V Square (Place Mohammed V) Also called "Pigeon Square"—yes, there are tons of pigeons! Surrounded by grand buildings (post office, courthouse), it’s the perfect spot to sip coffee and watch the birds flutter about. ☕️🕊️ 🏛️ Habous Quarter (Quartier Habous) A charming mix of French and Moroccan architecture. Explore cozy cafés, boutique shops, and handmade crafts. The Royal Palace is nearby—don’t miss it! 🏬 Morocco Mall The largest shopping mall in Morocco, home to luxury brands like LV, Dior, Balenciaga, Fendi, and Gucci.
