Prioritize the Tangier American Legation Institute and other museums on rainy days.
02
Plan cue
Use the outdoor landmarks, including Château York and Palais Marshan, between showers.
03
Plan cue
Plan a flexible city break rather than a tightly packed outdoor itinerary.
Practical trip tips
Dress in layers you can take on and off easily, because the city will usually feel different in the morning and after sunset.
Keep one museum or covered landmark in reserve each day so a sudden weather shift does not ruin the plan.
Leave some breathing room in the itinerary, because this is a good month to follow the mood of the city rather than rushing it.
