Home Morocco. Casablanca City Guide. What are the places to visit and the top things to do in Casablanca Morocco? This guide is a list of the best activities in Casablanca including where to eat and where to stay in Casablanca. When I arrived in Casablanca Morocco , my first impression was an odd one. I remembered the movie Casablanca, a film full of intrigue and adventure that had charmed me and made me want to visit the city.
I was surrounded by huge skyscrapers, lots of traffic, the sound of honking horns, and passersby hurrying to work. It felt like a cold, big metropolis. An economic center that had been stripped of soul and charm.
Casablanca sometimes feels like a cold, concrete jungleโฆ. I ended up settling down in Casablanca and stayed with some Spanish friends in a house on the outskirts of the city. Every day I would take a local bus to reach the city center. I was trying to recapture the feelings I had from the movie Casablanca.
Casablanca is indeed the economic capital of Morocco and as such, lacks the traditional charm of other cities like Tangier , Marrakech or Chefchaouen. However, I think that Casablanca has a charm that only reveals itself if you take the time to discover it. Spending time near the wharf and talking with the fishermen as they come back to port with their catch of the day will make you connect with the essence of the city in its people.
Because of this, I decided to write a guide for the best things to do in Casablanca in two days. Tip: See my Morocco Travel Page for a complete overview of all my travel guides and blog posts about Morocco! Morocco T r a v e l G u i d e : 19 useful things to know before traveling to Morocco.
