Airport - The main bus station is a fifteen minute walk from the Medina. There are usually a couple of petit taxis waiting for a customer at the entry. By car: From either north or south, all roads into Chefchaouen end up on place Mohammed V or its offshoot, avenue Hassan II. The best long-term parking is at place el Makhzen, at the far east end of avenue Hassan II.
Shopping - Chefchaouen is known for its weaving, particularly the blue, white, and red-striped Riffi blankets, which are worn by most rural women in the Rif. Mohammed Hazim's 40-year-old Bazar Hicham, on place Outa el Hammam, was the first artisinat Marocain in the village. Here visitors can see wool and silk blankets being handwoven on a traditional loom. The shop is open daily 9am to 9pm. In the eastern corner of place el Makhzen is the town's Ensemble Artisinal, where Riffi blankets, along with other crafts, can be bought at fixed prices. On the corner of place Outa el Hammam and rue Targui is Aladin the Herboriste. This small two-story store is filled with spices, soaps, oils and crystals.
