Central Casablanca is walkable around the old medina, the Habous quarter and the seafront Corniche, but the city is large and spread out. The Casa Tramway is the backbone of public transport — four lines (T1-T4, the newest opened in 2024) crossing the city at a flat, cheap fare every ten minutes or so. For door-to-door trips the small red 'petit taxis' are the everyday workhorse.

Buy a rechargeable tramway card or single-journey tickets at the tram-stop machines; a single ride is a flat low fare regardless of distance. The tram is the simplest way to cover longer distances across the city without sitting in traffic.

Two kinds of taxi: small red 'petit taxis' (metered, in-city, up to three passengers) and larger cream 'grand taxis' (shared or hired for longer and intercity runs). For petit taxis, insist the driver runs the meter ('compteur') or agree the price first — meter-dodging and 'commission' detours to shops are the usual hustle. Ride-hailing apps operate but in a legal grey area, so the metered petit taxi is the dependable default.

seafront

Worth visiting in its own right for the scale and the craftsmanship; the exterior plaza on the Atlantic is free to walk, and guided interior tours run for non-Muslims outside prayer times.

central / south of the centre

The walled Old Medina and the early-20th-century Habous (New Medina), with its arcades, bookshops and craft stalls, are the best places to wander, shop and eat for free.

Atlantic seafront

The seafront promenade west of the mosque is the city's leisure strip — beaches, cafés and sunset views over the ocean, a relaxed free evening out.

city centre

Casablanca has one of the world's great concentrations of 1920s-30s Art Déco and Mauresque architecture around Place Mohammed V — a free self-guided walk through the old colonial-era downtown.
