Marrakech rewards both planned sightseeing and the kind of deliberate wandering that the medina's lack of a street grid practically forces on you. Here are ten things worth your time. Jemaa el-Fnaa is worth visiting at two different times — by day for juice stalls and snake charmers, and after dark when it transforms into a vast open-air food market. The souks behind Jemaa el-Fnaa offer leather goods, lanterns, and spices across a genuinely sprawling network of stalls — getting a little lost is part of the experience. The Majorelle Garden, with its vivid cobalt-blue buildings and lush planting, is one of the most peaceful and photogenic spots in the city, a deliberate contrast to the medina's intensity. The adjacent Yves Saint Laurent Museum pairs naturally with a Majorelle Garden visit and gives context on the designer's long relationship with Marrakech. A day trip into the Atlas Mountains reaches Berber villages and valley hikes, with snow-capped peaks visible from the city in winter months. Bahia Palace, with its detailed tilework and courtyards, is one of the medina's most accessible grand interiors for visitors who want architecture without an extensive guided tour. The Koutoubia Mosque, while not open to non-Muslim visitors inside, is worth seeing from outside for its minaret, one of the most recognisable landmarks in the city. A traditional hammam and spa visit offers a genuinely restorative break partway through a trip that otherwise involves a lot of walking and navigating crowded streets. The Saadian Tombs, rediscovered only in the early 20th century after being sealed for centuries, give a quieter historical stop away from the medina's busiest routes. Finally, a half-day cooking class focused on Moroccan tagines and pastries gives structured insight into the food you'll otherwise be eating somewhat randomly throughout the trip. Bargaining is expected in the souks — start well below the asking price, and negotiate petit taxi fares before the ride starts rather than relying on a meter.
