Why you'll love it
Marrakech is Morocco's best-known city, with a busy medina, palaces and gardens at the foot of the Atlas Mountains. It scores 9 out of 10 for culture and value, and 8 for food, making it a vivid, affordable trip full of colour and flavour.
The best time to visit Marrakech is February to April or October to November, with warm days and cool nights. Summer is very hot.
Start in Jemaa el-Fnaa, the main square, which fills with food stalls in the evening, then explore the souks of the medina. Visit the Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs and the Jardin Majorelle, and relax in a traditional hammam. Stay in a riad, a guesthouse built around a courtyard. Day trips run to the Atlas Mountains and the Agafay Desert.
Marrakech suits couples, culture lovers and budget travellers.
