Just one of the most beautiful places that I've visited. Winding down corners, Chefchaouen is safe for a wonder.

def the best and most colourfull medina in morrocco,, plus safe and hassle free lots of bargains to be had,
and wonderfull restauraunts to be explored.
i loved the buzz around this area,, lots of interesting locals bartering , and oblivious to tourists
One of the loveliest medinas in all of Morocco, this little blue old town will take your heart and make you stay for quite a few days in order to explore, stroll around and find all its secrets. The locals are very lovely except only if you are trying to photograph them, always ask permission to take a photo of somebody and even when shooting in general if some people happen to be in the photo they might not be happy about it. You can go to the river and join the locals washing your clothes, a really nice experience. For shopping go the market OUTSIDE the old city, just a street below where you will get the local prices and people are very honest. Definitely worth to come to the north of Morocco only for this town.
If you are going to Chef, you will definitely wind up in the medina. In my opinion, Chefchaouen has the best rugs in Morocco (and maybe the cheapest as well).
As an amateur photographer, this city was perfect and unique, I loved the landscape scenery the endless possibilities I had for picture taking, the maze of cobbled stone streets, that never ends, the sensation that you have gone back in time when seeing the women washing clothes by the river, experiencing the pure essence of the culture.
However you need to look out for people who want to be your guides or simply carry your luggage, make sure you agree a fixed price before hand otherwise you'll be ripped off for sure. Also in restaurants make sure,you,see the prices before you ask for any food.
