Getting around Essaouira is delightfully simple thanks to its compact nature. The medina is entirely pedestrian, best explored on foot to soak in the atmosphere. Taxis (petit taxis) are readily available for trips outside the medina, like to the beach or the airport; agree on a price beforehand or ensure the meter is used. Horse and carriage rides offer a scenic, albeit slower, way to see the coastal areas. For longer distances or day trips, hiring a grand taxi or arranging a private driver is recommended.
