What are some of the best things to do in Casablanca?

Casablanca presents a rich variety of architectural styles that showcase the various cultures that have impacted Casablanca over the centuries.

• Start by visiting Hassan II Mosque, Morocco's largest and one of the most impressive mosques. The mosque is opulently decorated, and the structure features a 210-metre minaret, towering over the sea. This is the only mosque in the city that non-Muslims are allowed to attend.
• Go to Église du Sacré-Coeur – the 1930s desacralized cathedral presents a mixture of Neo-Gothic and Art Deco architectural elements. Now hosting concerts and exhibitions, the Église du Sacré-Coeur remains a cultural hub. Lovers of brutalism would appreciate the sober structure of Église Notre Dame de Lourdes, finished in the 1950s.
• Spend a few hours at Casablanca's market. Surrounded by whitewashed walls and leafy trees, the city's market is quiet and tranquil in comparison to other central markets of Morocco. Not the oldest medina in Morocco, it definitely is a very picturesque one, with its whitewashed walls and a panoramic view over the sea that opens from the northern side.
• Get to know the city's ambitious gallery scene – many of Casablanca's Art Deco villas now host galleries for contemporary art. To see street art head to La Fabrique Culturelle des Anciens Abattoirs de Casablanca, a former slaughterhouse now reimagined as an art hub.
• Casablanca offers both great fine dining experiences and delicious street food. For a dinner with a view, head to La Corniche, the city's waterfront boulevard.
