Is Morocco walkable / do I need transport?
City medinas are very walkable and best explored on foot, since cars cannot enter the narrow lanes. For getting across town, cheap petit taxis are easy. Between cities you need transport — comfortable trains, buses, or a private driver for the desert and mountains.
