Walk through Tetouan’s historic heart, moving from the Royal Palace and Guersa el Kebira into the Médina, past its tannery, gates, parks, and garden. Along the way, the Archaeological Museum, modern-art museum, church, handicrafts center, and zellij work bring different layers of the city into view. Take time in Plaza de Mechouar and Feddan Park for a breather amid the stone streets, then finish with a closer look at Tetouan’s distinctive craft traditions.
