  • With average nights at 12.5°C, evening walks near the old gates stay comfortable enough to linger.

What Needs Planning

  • February is still cooler than March, so seaside stops around Safi can feel shorter after sunset.

  • Safi’s top sights are spread out, so you will still need taxi or walk time between the gates and Cité des Arts .
