Top 10 attractions in Casablanca
Hassan II Mosque
The Hassan II Mosque is located on the Atlantic coast of Casablanca and was completed in 1993. It is one of the few mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslim travelers. A significant portion of the mosque extends over the sea, allowing worshippers to pray facing the ocean—a design inspired by the Quranic imagery of "the throne upon the water." Standing beside the mosque is its approx. 210 m tall minaret, topped with a laser beam pointing toward Mecca, visible from many parts of the city and even the sea. The mosque can accommodate over 100,000 worshippers simultaneously, both inside and outside, ranking among the largest in the world. Visitors must join guided tours to explore the mosque, which includes access to the prayer hall—a rare opportunity. The hall features polished marble floors, cedar wood carvings from the Middle Atlas Mountains, hand-cut glazed mosaics, and smooth plaster walls, all illuminated by Murano glass chandeliers. The central roof can open, allowing the hall to bask in sunlight on clear days. Outside, the seaside plaza and seawall offer iconic views, with white stone walls reflecting the Atlantic's blue hues and waves crashing nearby. Visitors are reminded to observe religious etiquette: shoes must be removed before entering, shoulders and knees should be covered, and women are advised to cover their hair (scarves are often available at the entrance). Photography is permitted during tours, but avoid pointing cameras at worshippers. In the morning, sunlight streams into the hall, highlighting the intricate mosaics and stonework. At dusk, the minaret framed against the sunset is a quintessential image of Casablanca.Casablanca · 9.5km from downtown
Boulevard de la Corniche
Boulevard de la Corniche is a coastal scenic road in Casablanca bordering the Atlantic Ocean. Located in the western coastal area of the city, it stretches for several km. The boulevard consists of a wide roadway and a wooden boardwalk on the seaside, where you can overlook the blue Atlantic Ocean by leaning on the railing. The area below the boardwalk railing that extends toward the beach is lined with leisure facilities such as cafes, bars, and swimming pools. A locally famous "Miami" cafe is located at the turn at the southern end of the boulevard, and the boulevard is named after it. The cafe is built on a high embankment with water on both sides. Sitting in the outdoor seating area, you have a view of the open Atlantic Ocean. Evening is the main time to visit. As the sun sets, the coastal boardwalk is filled with residents and tourists taking a walk, and the cafe terraces gradually become lively. Along the boulevard, there are also cultural exhibits and photo spots related to the film "Casablanca".Casablanca · 10.6km from downtown
Old City (Casablanca)
Old City (Casablanca) is the original core of the city, rebuilt by Sultan Sidi Mohammed ben Abdallah in the second half of the 18th century on the ruins of the old city. Unlike the old cities of Marrakech or Fes, this is not a tourist district, but a living, working market—the alleys are packed with hardware stores, meat stalls, shoe shops, and teahouses, handcarts rattle on the cobblestone streets, the call to prayer from the minaret cuts through the bustle of the market, and the salty sea breeze blows in from the direction of the port. The iconic entrance to the Old City is the Bab Marrakech gate, an arched sandstone gate that survived the great earthquake of 1755. Passing through the gate leads into the winding market alleys. Following the lanes toward the port, you will reach the Skala Fortress—this 18th-century coastal defense fortification still retains its old-style cannons facing the Atlantic Ocean, and climbing the walls offers a panoramic view of the stone walls, the sea, and the fishing port. At the junction of the old city and the French-style new city, the clock tower in United Nations Square marks the boundary between the two districts and is also a suitable starting point for a walking tour of the Old City.Casablanca · 7.7km from downtown
Mohammed V Square
Mohammed V Square is located in the city center of Casablanca and is an important administrative hub of the city. Public buildings such as the courthouse, the central post office, the central bank building, and the Wilaya administrative building are located around the square. Most of them were built in the 1920s and 1930s, blending traditional Moorish decoration with Art Deco style. Arcades, white exterior walls, and colorful mosaic tiles on the facades form the square's unique architectural view. A large fountain is located in the center of the square, and flocks of pigeons often gather around it, which is why it is also known as "Pigeon Square." The Wilaya building on the south side was designed by architect Marius Boyer. Its inner courtyard features greenery and a fountain, the colonnades are decorated with tiles, and the towering clock tower is also quite distinctive. The square is close to the old town. It is suitable for admiring the architecture and fountain during the day, and after the lights come on at night, it presents a different view.Casablanca · 7.2km from downtown

Jardin Majorelle
This was once a private villa built by French artist Jacques Majorelle, and later bought by French fashion master Yves Saint Laurent and lived here for several years. Now open to become a popular attraction in Marrakech, the garden is full of rare plants, surrounded by a blue villa, as well as the tombstone of Yves Saint Laurent and a small cafe. French artist Jacques Majorelle acquired a piece of land on the outskirts of Marrakech (now the new district of the city) in 1924, and then devoted almost his entire life experience to designing and building this garden, collecting various plants from all over the world to build a cactus garden , vine promenade, lotus pond, bamboo forest trail... It is said that there are more than 100 kinds of cactus alone. The garden is filled with the painter's favorite blue, and villas, vases, walls, pools, etc., all have this bright and pure blue. This blue was later called Majorelle blue. Until the painter died in a car accident in 1962, the garden was slowly abandoned. In 1980, Yves Saint Laurent and his legendary gay partner Pierre Berge discovered the Majorelle garden in Marrakech and immediately bought the garden. For nearly 30 years, the master lived in the Majorelle garden every spring. On June 1, 2008, the costume master passed away. Pierre Berge scatters his ashes in the garden to fulfill the master's wish. Now the villa has been turned into a museum, and in a room behind the villa, Yves Saint Laurent's manuscripts are displayed.Morocco · Marrakech

What travellers say about Casablanca

5.0
Visiting the Hassan II Mosque was the absolute highlight of my time in Casablanca. From the moment I stepped onto the oceanfront esplanade, I was struck by its sheer scale—the intricate zellij tilework, carved cedar ceilings, and the towering 210-meter minaret are breathtaking in person. The guided tour was well-organized and gave fascinating insight into Moroccan craftsmanship and Islamic tradition, but the most unforgettable moment was standing in the glass-floored prayer hall, watching the Atlantic waves roll directly beneath my feet. Even if you're not religious, this is a masterpiece of art and engineering that deserves a spot on any traveler's itinerary. Just be sure to arrive early for the best light and fewer crowds—it's an experience that will stay with me forever.

Casablanca's Miami Beach Boulevard is the most beautiful traffic avenue here. Driving along this avenue, you can enjoy the beautiful coastal scenery and the magnificent sunset. You can also take a walk or exercise here in the evening, which feels really warm and comfortable.

Everyone is familiar with Casablanca in Morocco. During World War II, spies from all over the world gathered here. There are movies about the scene at that time. I first learned about Casablanca from the movie, which prompted me to travel here.

This square can only be said to be a small square. If I really want to sit down, I still like to go to Cafe France in Place des Nations Unie to sit down and drink coffee. There are also performers singing around. You must come to Place V because you can check in in front of Casablanca. In addition, you can also play with pigeons.
