Ultimate DIY Travel Guide to Casablanca, Morocco

Casablanca—a bustling, vibrant city that stole my heart! The must-visit spots for me are the Hassan II Mosque and the seafood market for a fresh feast. ✅✅ Here’s a one-day itinerary with no backtracking (adjust as needed for a relaxed or packed day): 9:30 AM – Mohammed V Square (Place Mohammed V) 🔸 Also called "Pigeon Square," known for its artistic architecture. 10:00 AM – Old Medina (Ancienne Medina) 🔸 Ancient streets, traditional crafts, and aromatic spice stalls. 11:30 AM – Rick’s Café 🔸 The famous filming location from Casablanca—retro and cinematic! 12:30 PM – New Medina 🔸 A mix of historic charm and modern life. 1:00 PM – Seafood Market 🔸 Several markets to choose from—many bloggers recommend Central Marketplace. I forgot which one I went to, but I got a huge crab (bigger than my palm!) for 80 dirhams. Nearby restaurants can cook your seafood for a small fee. 3:00 PM – Hassan II Mosque 🔸 A must-visit! The 3rd largest mosque in the world, built over the Atlantic Ocean—serene and majestic. You can also admire it from the rocky beach nearby. 🎫 130 dirhams ⚠️ Dress modestly (cover shoulders & knees). 4:30 PM – Miami Corniche (Boulevard de la Corniche) 🔸 Lined with cafes and bars. If you want to catch the sunset, visit Morocco Mall first, then come back here. 6:00 PM – Morocco Mall 🔸 The biggest mall in Morocco—great for luxury shopping with 13% tax refund. 8:00 PM – Sky 28 (Kenzi Tower Hotel) 🔸 The highest viewpoint in the city, perfect for night views with a drink! ————————— ✅✅ Transport – Moroccan Trains 🎫 Book tickets at: https://www.oncf.ma/en/ Trains have 1st & 2nd class.
