DAY 1

Arrival in Tangier → Chefchaouen

Welcome to the blue city

Travel from Tangier Airport to Chefchaouen. Once you arrive, take your time checking in, putting down your bags and freshening up. Exploring can wait until tomorrow.

Good food and time to enjoy it

Depending on your arrival time, find somewhere welcoming for a late lunch or a leisurely dinner. Order something you fancy, enjoy mint tea and take in your first impressions of the city.

An evening with no plans

Feel like going out? Take a short stroll nearby. If you would rather linger at the table or turn in early, that is just as lovely. Today is about settling in and resting.

Overnight: Chefchaouen.
