Casablanca, 20250

The Basics

Laid out in 1920 by Joseph Marrast, United Nations Place is an elegant example of urban planning. A slew of bank headquarters and office blocks are offset by a striking central fountain and neat flowering gardens. Travelers may explore the square as part of a half-day, full-day, and multi-day private or group sightseeing tours of Casablanca incorporating Casablanca’s most noteworthy attractions including tropical gardens, souks, and essential sites like Mohammed V Square, the Royal Palace, and the seaside Ain Diab Corniche.

How to Get There

United Nations Place is located at the southern point of the Old Medina. The easiest way to reach the square is by taxi. There are two types and both are budget-friendly.

When to Get There

United Nations Place is best visited during the day, to enjoy the gardens and the hustle of the city. Casablanca can be quite hot year-round, though cool breezes come with the Canary Current off the Atlantic Ocean. Come in July for the city’s most outstanding events (Festival de Casablanca and the Feast of the Throne) or during the spring for Ramadan to experience an array of cultural activities and festivals.
