March warms up for garden visits, Gueliz cafes, and Ourika Valley trips with occasional showers.
City overview
Marrakesh is a former imperial city where the walled Medina, Djemaa El-Fna, souks, palaces, gardens, and Gueliz sit between the High Atlas and the Haouz plain. The useful visitor split is simple: stay alert inside the dense old city, use Gueliz for easier restaurants and modern services, and treat the Atlas valleys as the natural day-trip extension.
Food & drink
Marrakesh food centers on tagine, tanjia, couscous, harira, msemen, olives, dates, chebakia, mint tea, and fresh orange juice. Djemaa El-Fna is the famous evening stage, the Medina has riad cooking and rooftop terraces, and Gueliz adds easier sit-down dining when the old-city lanes feel tiring.

Neighborhoods
1Medina
The Medina is the walled old city of riads, souks, mosques, hammams, narrow lanes, food stalls, workshops, and the constant pull of Djemaa El-Fna.
2Kasbah and Mellah
Kasbah and the Mellah sit south of Djemaa El-Fna with Saadian Tombs, Bahia Palace, El Badi Palace, spice markets, synagogues, and quieter guesthouse lanes.
3Mouassine and Sidi Abdelaziz
Mouassine and Sidi Abdelaziz are central Medina quarters with riads, boutique shops, hammams, cafes, and fast access into the northern souks.
4Gueliz
Gueliz is the Ville Nouvelle district with easier taxis, banks, galleries, shopping streets, cafes, bars, and modern restaurants outside the old walls.
5Hivernage
Hivernage is a hotel and nightlife district west of the Medina, with resort pools, lounges, broad roads, and a calmer base for visitors using drivers.
6Palmeraie
The Palmeraie is the palm-grove resort zone north of town, useful for villa stays, pool days, and resort restaurants rather than Medina wandering.
Getting around
Inside the Medina, walking is the main transport and maps lose precision in covered souks, so navigate by gates, squares, mosques, and riad landmarks. Alsa buses, petit taxis, airport bus 19, caleches, and hired drivers handle longer hops, with fares agreed before taxi rides when meters are not used.

March is one of the best walking months, especially for Triana, Macarena, and Plaza de España.
City overview
Seville is Andalusia’s Guadalquivir River capital, where Almohad towers, Gothic vaults, Mudéjar palaces, orange-tree courtyards, and flamenco districts sit under some of Europe’s hottest summer skies. Santa Cruz frames the cathedral and Alcázar, Triana carries ceramics and flamenco across the river, and El Arenal, Macarena, and Los Remedios fill in bullring, market, and Feria layers.
Food & drink
Seville plates are built around salmorejo, gazpacho, espinacas con garbanzos, carrillada, pescaíto frito, jamón ibérico, montaditos, and torrijas. Mercado de Triana, Calle Mateos Gago, El Rinconcillo, Feria market, and Alameda bars make the tapas crawl straightforward.
