    Getting around

    Fez is a walkable city with most attractions located within the medina, but visitors can also use taxis or hire a guide for more remote locations. Public transportation options include buses and petite taxis, which are small shared taxis that operate on set routes. It's important to negotiate fares with taxi drivers before starting the journey, as meters are not always used.

    Traveller tips

    When visiting Fez, it's important to dress modestly and respect local customs, especially when entering religious sites. Bargaining is a common practice in the medina, so be prepared to negotiate prices when shopping. It's also recommended to drink bottled water and avoid tap water to prevent stomach issues. Learning a few basic phrases in Arabic or French can help with communication, as English may not be widely spoken. Lastly, be cautious of pickpockets in crowded areas and keep valuables secure.
