القصور،، Marrakech 40000, Morocco
It looks overwhelming at first, but it's easy to navigate. Restaurants with terraces, and shops line the square, and in the evenings, food vendors set up selling fruit juices, all kinds of traditional dishes, and pretty much anything else you can think of. There's entertainment in the form of games, musicians, snake charmers, and monkeys, the later 2 of which I don't endorse. But overall it's a great place to spend the evening and people watch.
Big touristic Square with lots of local products and artists. There are numbered sections with fish, meat and fruit where you can eat very fresh and delicious food very cheap. Be aware that looking like a tourist people are all over you to get them into their food place or buy products. Always friendly but can be too much sometimes.
Good experience, although not as majestic as it looks in pictures. Went in the day and it felt safe. The night was busy and full of entertainment but didn't feel as safe. However, I'm a single mum with 2 kids and I felt safe enough. Just be firm when sellers are pressuring you! We had food in a restaurant on the square with lanterns on the roof terrace. It was really clean and professional and food and drinks were fabulous. The sunset from the roof terrace over the market was stunning! Cantvrwmember the name of it but it's hard to miss with its glowing terrace.
This is an old traditional trade & fun zone. Large gathering of locals and foreign visitors. The number of eating places and shops are countless. We visited walking on foot from our guest house that was near the square. So it was just a bit confusing to get there with the streets so busy. But quiet the place to get anything you need out of Morocco.
A big open square with a lot of entertainment and food options. There are several restaurants with terraces around the square. We went to L’ancient cafe to see the sunset from there, it was not crowded, just a perfect view of the square. Avoid the people with the snakes and monkeys, that is animal cruelty. There were a few groups with nice music.
