The United Nations Square serves as an urban epicentre where modernity meets tradition. Originally a marketplace, the square has evolved into a focal point connecting the European "ville nouvelle" and the historic Casablanca medina. Nowadays, you'll find a plethora of hotels, restaurants and shops around the square, making it an ideal starting point for exploring the city.

Every September, Pilsen is invaded by visitors that do not only aspire to see the city but also join this wonderful festival, as its programme features a selection of most significant plays written and played by both domestic and foreign productions. Try to take this happening into account, when planning your stay, and you will experience the city in an even better way.

Casablanca's Old Medina, also known as Old Town or Ancienne Medina, is a maze-like quarter teeming with life and marked by buildings that harken back to the period before French rule, provides an authentic backdrop to the city. Vendors with carts offer a variety of fruits, vegetables, and spices, while quaint antiques shops and artisanal leather workshops line the constricted passageways. Amid the lively bargaining, outdoor cafes offer spaces for respite, serving both coffee and refreshing mint tea. The narrow lanes are hemmed in by tall, timeworn buildings, creating an evocative atmosphere. Here, locals go about their daily routines while visitors can shop for an array of traditional goods.

Despite its humble exterior, this small Baroque church, named after one of the patron saints of the city, houses one of Zadar's highlights: the St Simeon Chest. A fine example of medieval silversmithing, dating back to 1381, this highly decorated silver casket placed just above the main altar contains the mummified body of St Simeon.
