Getting there

Walking

If you're starting from the center of Tetouan, head towards the main square, Plaza de la Constitución. From there, walk towards the historic Medina, passing through the narrow streets filled with shops and cafes. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with Avenue Mohammed V. Turn right onto Avenue Mohammed V and walk for about 10 minutes. You will see signs directing you towards the Royal Palace. As you approach, look for Pl. El Mechouar on your left, where the entrance to the Royal Palace is located.

Public Transport (Bus)

From the Medina or Plaza de la Constitución, you can take a local bus that heads towards the Royal Palace. Look for buses marked 'Palais Royal' or ask a local for guidance. The bus ride is short, approximately 10-15 minutes. Get off at the stop closest to Pl. El Mechouar. Once you disembark, walk a short distance to the entrance of the Royal Palace, which will be visible ahead.

Taxi

For a more comfortable option, you can hire a local taxi. You can hail one from the street or ask your hotel to arrange one for you. Simply tell the driver 'Royal Palace' or 'Pl. El Mechouar' to ensure they understand your destination. The ride should take around 5-10 minutes depending on traffic. The taxi will drop you off at Pl. El Mechouar, where you can walk directly to the entrance of the Royal Palace.
