15 Fun and Unique Things to Do in Chefchaouen, Chefchaouen, Morocco
If you’re looking for some unique things to do in Chefchaouen, you’ve come to the right place. Ever since I have seen photos of Chefchaouen, the Blue pearl of Morocco, I have wanted to book a ticket to visit! What could be prettier than a city that has its walls completely licked in blue paint? Although I have visited the blue city in Jodhpur, India, it doesn’t compare to the likes of Chefchaouen.
Getting lost in the Medina, finding hidden alleyways and streets all decorated in bright colours and (to my surprise) the beautiful mountain scenery that surrounded the city, all made for one of the prettiest cities I think I’ve visited in my entire life. Chefchaouen has a relatively quiet, friendly and peaceful vibe compared to the touristic neighbours of Marrakesh and Fes. It’s more laid back, so you can wander freely and just enjoy your surroundings here.
There’s not so much hassle or hard selling and I never once felt unsafe here as a solo female traveller, even at night. Although the blue city is obviously the main draw, there’s more to this quaint place than just taking pictures of the blue houses which I don’t think many people talk about. You can go trekking in the mountains, relax in the main square and listen to the buskers, have orange juice sitting on a waterfall and even see a Cannabis plantation or two (lol, more on that later). So, I’ve compiled a list of fun and unique things to do in Chefchaouen. Are you ready? Here we go! ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
