- The Bahia & El Badi palaces — 19th-century splendour and the ruins of a once-golden palace.
- The Ben Youssef Madrasa — a former Koranic school famous for its carved cedar and stucco.
- The souks — the Semmarine and beyond, a maze of spices, carpets and craft.
- The gardens — the blue Majorelle Garden and the hidden Secret Garden of the medina.
