How safe is Chefchaouen?

Despite its popularity as a tourist hot-spot, Chefchaouen has a small village mentality, and therefore everyone knows one another. The tourist areas are well policed by the local Tourist Police, and local residents are always polite, friendly and welcoming. Unlike other areas of Morocco, the haggling and harassment from shopkeepers is not at all aggressive and most tourists report a pleasant experience. I have walked all over Chefchaouen at all times of night and have never felt threatened or scared.

Very very beautiful city un Morroco, called the blue city. Very safe, nice people, multiple options to eat. There’s a waterfall clase to the city. There is no pressure for buying as in bigger cities and there’s also art more contemporary. I really recommend going, you can go on a tour if you feel better this way. I would have preferred going on out own.

Solo travel

Chefchaouen is beautiful, but very small and peaceful. I spent a day/night there and probably would have been satisfied with just an afternoon.
