The short answer

The gardens outside the souks work best. The Menara Gardens have wide flat paths, the Koutoubia gardens are flat, and Jardin Majorelle's paths are level though some are narrow and busy. The YSL museum is step-free. Inside the medina, use a carrier: the souk lanes, El Badi's ramparts and the tanneries defeat wheels.

In more detail

Le Jardin Secret's garden is on one level, so a light pushchair can manage it, but the tower is stairs only. The Bahia Palace is mostly level courtyards with some thresholds to lift over. The Saadian Tombs have a narrow entrance passage and a gravel garden.

Gueliz and Hivernage, built along wide avenues, are the easiest districts for wheels. Jemaa el-Fnaa has open paving but becomes very crowded after dark, when a carrier is safer and easier than a pushchair.

A light folding pushchair is far more useful than a heavy pram. Cars cannot reach most riad doors, so you will often fold it, carry it, and switch to a sling for the medina part of the day.

Good to know

  • Bring a soft carrier as well as a light pushchair.
  • Plan garden mornings for the pushchair days.
  • Leave the pushchair at the riad for the souks.
  • Ask your riad to send a porter to meet you at the nearest gate.
