Good to know
Practical notes
- The Udayas museum, Chellah and the national museums are spread across the city but all within a short taxi or tram ride.
- Check opening days — several museums close on Mondays or Tuesdays, so plan the order accordingly.
- The modern tramway links the centre, the medina and Salé and is the easiest way to move between sites.
