You can either fly in from many of the major cities around Europe, or come overland from Spain. There are regular ferries from Algeciras and its easy enough to stay overnight in Tangier or take a train further onwards.
The trains are brilliant and very reliable. 2nd class is very comfortable, and 1st even more so. There are plenty of buses, but these are often not of a great standard, and you need to take greater care at stations and on buses. Transport and backpacker tours can be booked in Marrakech for the deep south with Hotel Ali or Hotel Foucauld. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Inside Morocco I've travelled by car and train. The train system here is excellent, quick and not expensive, one is able to get almost anywhere via the train. I've also taken the sea shore road from Casablanca to Agadir then on to Marrakech. The road is in excellent condition although one has to be very very careful while driving, there are some silly drivers and lots of trucks but worthwhile just the same. The scenery is just beautiful! The autoroute from Casablanca to Meknes and Fes is 'better than most roads in Quebec'...sorry there but the truth! The speed limit on the autoroute is 120 kilometers.. compared to the secondary roads which vary from 60 to 100 kilometers. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

I flew with Air Morocco to the country.
We started getting around using busses and the train, but we saw it takes much longer time, which we didn't have, so we rented a car. We rented it in some un-known and cheap place in Marakesh, but it turned out fine, and they didn't even take too much extra charge for returning it in a different city. I recommend this as a woderful way to get around if your schedule is tight. The roads are safe, the drivers are polite and it worked out great for us. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

We had to fly into Casablanca, and then transfer to Fez. Appears this is true for many other cities as well. Fez is a small airport, but flying seemed preferable to travel by train.
We took the train from the airport into Casblanca since I had about 5 hours of layover one day. We had to wait a long time for the train, and nearly had a heart attack getting back, since the schedule was NOT what I had been told in the airport.
The train was cheap, only about 30 dirhams for 2 of us as compared to a taxi ride to Casablanca of 200 dirhams. But once there, we found the area around the station a bit depressing, as was the casbah. Best to go straight to the Mosque of Hassan, unless you're staying over.
Within Fez and Casablanca, we took cabs, but they were sometimes hard to find. Ask your hotel to help. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

the best way to get around is in my opinion by bicycle.
sure it's a little tough, but you get away from the tourist crowd and find out that moroccans are real nice people.
in tourist places you tend to think that all moroccans wants to sell you hotel rooms,hash and useless junk. Leave a Comment Theme: Bicycle

It is no problem using the buses or the train; in every bigger town you'll find a busstation. If you want to see things more individually, than rent a car, especially for the high atlas and the western Sahara. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

A good and not expensive way to get around ist to rent a taxi with driver for a day. But dont forget to check the price for the tour before you step in the taxi Leave a Comment Theme: Other
