Marrakesh

Marrakech is considered one of the most important cultural centres in Morocco and is one of the most visited destinations in the country. Its historical, cultural and architectural richness has been preserved over the years and has been complemented by a vibrant atmosphere that stands out among others for its markets and festivals.

Located at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, the "red city" is divided into 4 areas: the Medina, the Kasbah, the Mellah, and Gueliz. Each of them hides markets, gardens, palaces and mosques that will make exploring this city an unforgettable trip to enjoy from a Barceló Hotel Group hotel.

City of contrasts, labyrinthine souks and bustling streets. Marrakech has the magic of enveloping all who come here with a halo of mystery and calm. Are you ready to discover this city? Then forget the rush and the clock, and let yourself go and enjoy a walk that will make you immerse yourself in the city.

The Koutoubia Mosque and the Jemaa el Fna square are the icons of Marrakech. The Koutoubia is considered the roof of Marrakech and can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. Walking from it you reach the vibrant and famous Jemaa el Fna, the heart of the city. There is no better place to soak up the essence of public and local life both day and night.

The souk of Marrakech is also a must on your travel route. Dyers, basket makers and tanners offer numerous products that await the best bargainers. Do not miss the Menara Gardens, the Saadies Tombs, the historic Madrasa Ben Youssef or the Majorelle Gardens.
