卡萨布兰卡 Attractions
Sitting along the western coast of Morocco, Casablanca is a cosmopolitan and commercial hub—a place filled with college students, young professionals, and creative entrepreneurs. Though perhaps not as atmospheric as other popular destinations, Casablanca is the place to come to see the contemporary side of the country. Thanks to a diverse population of immigrants from across Africa and Europe, the city has a gritty-meets-stylish feel that many compare to Los Angeles. This progressive locale is home to trendy restaurants, experimental art galleries, and hip surf spots, as well as a few tourist traps for those who can’t resist the alluring environment made famous in the 1942 namesake film. It’s not all modern, however. Interspersed with cutting-edge construction is a mix of Moorish architecture, vibrant bazaars, and Moroccan hammams that act as symbols of the city’s storied past.
