Casablanca nightlife is more polished and venue-driven than the city’s daytime rhythm suggests. The late scene clusters around Ain Diab, hotel bars and a handful of long-running clubs, with music and crowd changing noticeably from one night to the next. Entry rules, minimum spend and dress...
Casablanca’s best high-level views are very different from the medina rooftops associated with other Moroccan cities. Here the drama comes from a modern skyline, wide boulevards and the Atlantic, with hotel towers and Corniche venues doing most of the work. A rooftop is worth choosing only when the...
Taxis remain essential in Casablanca because even a good tram network cannot cover every restaurant, hotel and business address conveniently. Visitors mainly encounter red petit taxis for urban trips, while pre-booked services are useful for airport runs, luggage or scheduled pickups. Use clearly...
A rental car is unnecessary for many days spent entirely inside Casablanca, where traffic and parking can erase much of the convenience. It becomes more useful for coastal drives, business trips outside the center or itineraries continuing to places that are awkward by train. Downtown pickup saves...

The stops below can be linked into one long day...
Green space is not the first image most travelers associate with Casablanca, yet several parks offer a useful change of pace from traffic, cafés and the seafront. The strongest options range from a restored central landmark to newer landscaped grounds with room for cycling, play and an unhurried...
Eating cheaply in Casablanca does not require falling back on international fast food.

Prices and portions change, so use these as...
Casablanca is better for useful Moroccan gifts than for the theatrical souvenir shopping found in more tourist-heavy cities. You can still find ceramics, textiles, leather goods, tea sets and decorative pieces, but the strongest shopping often comes from focused stores or the Habous quarter rather...
Casablanca’s pub scene is smaller than its lounge and nightclub scene, so the best choices tend to be places that emphasize beer, conversation and a casual bar mood rather than bottle-service nightlife. That narrower definition produces a shorter, more useful list. Alcohol service and opening hours...
Casablanca’s luxury hotels are less about resort seclusion than about urban polish, ocean views and serious business-city service. The strongest properties occupy very different settings: a restored historic tower downtown, a contemporary Atlantic-front hotel and refined addresses in Anfa. Choose by...
