There are several ways to travel around Rabat. Busses will get you around, even though the numbers system can be confusing at times. Trams connect Rabat with its sister city Salé with frequent connections. If you are staying in the city centre, consider walking around town, as everything can be reached on foot quite easily. Trains connect the capital city with other Moroccan cities (Marrakesh is 4 hours, Casablanca 1 hour away). The main station is Gare Rabat Ville, the other one is located in Agdal.

The best time to visit Rabat is the period from May to October, as these are the driest months of the year. Even when it's hot, the temperatures become doable thanks to the constant sea breeze. Rabat offers mild temperatures all year round, so if you can live with the possibility of rainfall, you will be good to go in winter as well.
