Getting there

Walking

If you are already in the Medina area, start by heading towards the main square, Place du 9 Avril 1947. From there, navigate towards Rue de la Kasbah, which is located to the northwest of the square. Continue walking along Rue de la Kasbah until you reach the entrance of the Kasbah Museum, which is located at Pl. de la Kasbah, Tanger 90030. The walk should take approximately 10-15 minutes depending on your pace.

Local Guide

If you feel unsure about navigating through the winding streets of Medina, consider hiring a local guide. You can find guides near the main square or through your hotel. A guide can help you navigate the streets, and the cost typically ranges from 100 to 300 MAD for a couple of hours, depending on their experience and services.

Public Transport (Taxi)

While walking is the best way to experience the Medina, if you prefer not to walk, you can take a petit taxi. Find a taxi near Place du 9 Avril 1947 and instruct the driver to take you to 'Kasbah Museum' or 'Pl. de la Kasbah.' The fare should not exceed 20 MAD for a short distance within the Medina. Make sure to agree on the fare before starting your journey.
