It is a fairly long walk between Gueliz and the Medina, but there are plenty of petits taxis and grands taxis , which will take you between the two for around 10dh. There are taxi ranks at most intersections in Gueliz and in the Medina at the Place Djemaa El Fna, outside the Grand Hôtel Tazi and at the Place des Ferblantiers end of Avenue Houman El Fetouaki. Bus #1 also runs between the main Gueliz squares and the Koutoubia/Place de Foucauld in the Medina.

Note that very few of the petits taxis are metered (or admit to a functioning meter); you either have to fix a price in advance, haggle on arrival, or just decide on what you're paying and hand it over at the end of the trip; most trips should cost around 10dh, or 15dh in the evening. Grands taxis have by law to display prices for specified trips; these prices are per trip and not per person, as drivers often claim.

In addition to taxis, there are calèches , horse-drawn cabs which line up near the Koutoubia, the Badi Palace and some of the fancier hotels. These can take up to five people and are not much more expensive than petits taxis - though be sure to fix the price in advance, particularly if you want a tour of the town.

An alternative for exploring the more scattered city sights, such as the Agdal and Menara gardens or the palmery, is a bike or moped . You can rent them from the outlets we've listed; they will cost up to 100dh a day. Grands taxis can also be chartered by the day for around 150dh, which works out very reasonable if you split it between four people (the taxis take a maximum six passengers - but four is comfortable). Negotiate at the ranks in Djemaa El Fna or by the PTT in Gueliz.
