Summary for your reference
The best times to visit are spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October), when temperatures are mild and the hills are green. July and August are the hottest, with dry, sunny days, while November through February bring the most rain, though winter stays cool rather than cold. For a drier, comfortable trip, aim for May or September, as the town is lively with visitors during summer but more relaxed in shoulder seasons.
For the classic blue-washed streets, stay in the Medina, centering on Plaza Uta el Hamman and Place El Haouta; it suits first-timers who want to be in the heart of the action. The Souika quarter, also in the Medina, offers a quieter, more residential feel with easy access to shops. Outside the walls, the Quartier Administratif area is more spread out and better for those who prefer easier vehicle access and a calmer stay. Guesthouses like Maison d'hotes Afassi and Riad Nila are in the Medina, while Puerta Azul sits near the Av. Maghreb arabe.
Start in the Chefchaouen Medina, the blue-washed old town that is the city's signature sight. Relax at Plaza Uta el Hamman, the main square with its kasbah and cafes. Nearby, Place El Haouta offers a quieter, photogenic spot. For nature, the Waterfalls Akchour and the Akchour Waterfalls are the same stunning cascade area, worth the trip for the scenery and the famous God's Bridge.
Go to Akchour for its waterfalls and the natural rock bridge known as God's Bridge. The Agafay Desert offers a day with camel rides and a dinner show, though it is far from Chefchaouen. A cooking class in a nearby village gives you a taste of local home life. These trips fill a full day each, so plan for an extra night.
Two days works well for Chefchaouen itself: one to explore the Medina and Plaza Uta el Hamman, another to visit the Akchour waterfalls or Place El Haouta. If you add the cooking class or a village excursion, plan a third day. A waterfall trip needs its own full day, so three to four days total is comfortable.
