The main city center of Casablanca including the medina, Hassan II Mosque area, and business district.

About Casablanca City Center (Casa Voyageurs)

Casablanca is Morocco\'s largest city and economic powerhouse, and the area around Casa Voyageurs railway station serves as a convenient gateway to the city\'s attractions. The station connects directly to Morocco\'s rail network, including the Al Boraq high-speed train to Tangier. From here, the Art Deco downtown core along Boulevard Mohammed V is a short taxi ride away, featuring whitewashed buildings with ornate French colonial facades.

Casablanca\'s must-see landmark is the Hassan II Mosque—the world\'s third-largest mosque with a 210-meter minaret and a retractable roof over the prayer hall, built dramatically on a platform over the Atlantic Ocean. The old medina offers a more intimate experience than Marrakech\'s but with less tourist pressure. The Corniche, a coastal boulevard lined with restaurants and beach clubs, is where Casablancais socialize. The city has undergone significant modernization with the new Marina district, tramway system, and ambitious urban renewal projects.

Good to Know

Late Night Transport

The Train Navette airport shuttle runs from about 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM (hourly departures). After the last train, taxis are the only option—a grand taxi from the airport to Casa Voyageurs costs MAD 300–400. Petit taxis within the city operate until late. Uber does not operate in Morocco; use the inDrive or Careem apps for ride-hailing.

Luggage Tips

The Train Navette has overhead luggage racks and space between seats for bags. Casablanca's petit taxis (red) are small Fiat-type cars with limited trunk space—for large luggage, take a grand taxi (white Mercedes). The tramway has low-floor boarding but gets crowded during commute hours.

Accessibility

The Casablanca Tramway is fully accessible with low-floor boarding and designated wheelchair spaces. Casa Voyageurs station has elevators and ramps. The Hassan II Mosque has an accessible entrance on the ground level. Sidewalks in the city center are uneven in places—the newer Marina and Corniche areas are better maintained.
