So why choose Marrakech as a city break destination? Looking from his balcony at the Mamounia Hotel, gazing over the palm gardens and pink and ochre rooftops of the city, with the backdrop of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains , Winston Churchill described Marrakech as “the most lovely spot in the whole world”. Nothing has changed since then, the city is still just as picturesque but don’t just come for the scenery, Marrakech is very much alive and the heart of it all is the Jemaa El Fna. No city break to Marrakech would be complete without experiencing the square after dark. As the night falls acrobats, musicians, snake-charmers, fortune-tellers, story-tellers and dancers will seduce you and leave you with lasting memories of your Marrakech city break.

The mystique of the Jemaa El Fna aside, there are many other reasons to add Marrakech to your list of city break destinations. View the delicate Granada-style carving of the Saadian Tombs; the magnificent rambling ruin of the El Badi Palace; the stately interior of the Bahia Palace ; and, above all, the Koutoubia Minaret, the most perfect Islamic monument in North Africa . Contrast the striking architectural attractions of the city with the rambling maze of irregular streets and alleys of the Medina . Lose yourself in the chaotic labyrinth of stalls which make up the souks of the northern Medina and feast on some of the most delicious pastries and tagines you could ever find and you will have a truly magical city break experience.

When you need a break from the bustle of the city streets, you’ll find beautiful, historic and surprisingly extensive gardens all around the city where you can relax and watch the world go by. Try the palmery, Marrakech’s own oasis of date palms and suburban villas or the Majorelle Garden, a meticulously planned twelve-acre botanical garden created in the 1920s and 1930s by French painter Jacques Majorelle, and now owned by fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. With so much to see and do, it is no wonder that Marrakech city breaks are popular all year round.
