Fez is Morocco's old and ancient capital, in many ways a rival to the power and popularity of Marrakech. Its old medina is just as cacophonous an assault on the senses with its 90,000 winding streets and alleyways and in some places, medieval lifestyles. And if anything Fez is more fiercely Moroccan. This city too has an ever growing list of chic riads, and it's amongst these where you'll find many of the best places to stay in Fez.
If you're here for the souqs and market the best places to stay are those within the ancient walls of Fès el-Bali - which is also the world's largest urban car-free zone. Within the medina you'll still find everything being transported by donkeys and handcarts.
Just remember that this is a destination which is growing in popularity, so if you want to book one of the best places to stay in Fez during the busy holiday periods, you'll need to get organised and plan well ahead. Otherwise book your trip off season, you'll find the medina much more manageable!
