How to get to
Chefchaouen, Morocco
Flying to Chefchaouen
As there is no airport associated with the city
itself it is necessary to fly to nearby Tetouan and from
there take a car, grand taxi, or public bus. The
trip from the T�touan Saniat R'mel airport is about 70km
along the N2 national roadway, which is therefore a trip
of about one or one and a half hours. While bus
and coaches are available of course these take longer to
arrive.
However to Tetouan airport is a small one and has
mostly local flights, so while it is a great place to
transfer if you are travelling from Casablanca for
example it is not so good for international arrival.
Consider flying therefore instead to Tangier,
although the trip from Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport is
almost double the distance and may take two or three
hours to drive there are many more flights into Tangier
from a variety of international destinations.
By Bus or Coach
There are regular scheduled bus or coach trips from
nearby cities to Chefchaouen, these take from two to
four hours. Check with your hotel concierge for details.
Scheduled busses stop at the public bus stop of
Chefchaouen which is 1.5km downhill from the centre of
the city. It is possible to take a small taxi from the
bus stop into the city.
From Casablanca
Casablanca is one of the most popular destinations
within Morocco and of course after experiencing the big
city sights there it is a perfect contrast with the
traditions here in Chefchaouen. While it is possible to
visit as a day trip to really appreciate our city spend
one or two nights in one of our many brightly painted
small hotels and guesthouses.
Our mountain city is
about 400km away from Casablanca so therefore a long way
to drive, and though some coach tours are available for
day trips they therefore involve very early morning
starts from your hotel and so we also suggest a flight.
Although flights directly to Chefchaouen are not
possible as there is no airport here it is possible
daily to fly to nearby Tetouan and from there drive in a
grand taxi or private car.
From Rabat
The seaside town of Rabat is closer to Chefchaouen at
only about 250km but with slightly more limited roads it
is a drive of around 3 hours.
From Tangier
Located at the northern most part of morocco the city
of Tangier is a major port and entryway into the country
so you could consider also visiting this city on the way
to visiting here. At only about 110km away and
served by major roads it is only an hour and a half or
two hours drive.
