Editor's plan3 Days in MarrakechBest for first-time visitors and long weekends · $50–110 per person per day

Three days in Marrakech: one for the medina, the souks and the square at night, one for the palaces, the Jardin Majorelle and the new town, one in the Atlas Mountains or on the coast at Essaouira. Stay in a riad inside the walls — the whole experience of the city is being inside it rather than driving in.

  2. 2Palaces, gardens and the new townBahia Palace · Saadian Tombs and El Badi Palace · The Mellah, the old Jewish quarter · Jardin Majorelle and the YSL Museum
