Marrakech earned its place in many international rankings last year, and it seems 2025 is shaping up to be no different.

Marrakech – Marrakech just spiced its way to the top of the foodie world, snagging the bronze medal in TripAdvisor’s 2025 Travelers’ Choice Awards for best food destinations.

And honestly, can we blame anyone for falling in love with the city’s culinary charm? 

From the hypnotic sizzle of street food stalls to the hidden gems serving up innovative twists on Moroccan classics, Marrakech knows how to keep your taste buds intrigued.

Rome and London may have claimed the top two spots, but they’re fighting in a heavyweight league. 

Other contenders? Paris, the eternal city of croissants, came in fourth, followed by Naples and its unbeatable pizza in fifth. 

The list also sprinkled in Barcelona, Lima, New Orleans, Buenos Aires, and Athens — each serving up its own unique flavor.

But let’s be real, no one does a spice market quite like Marrakech. 

According to TripAdvisor, “‘The Red City’ of Marrakech is a magical place, brimming with markets, gardens, palaces, and mosques. Exploring the intimate courtyards and snaking alleyways of the historic Medina can easily eat up a day.”

The Travelers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best title celebrates the highest level of excellence in travel. 

It’s awarded to destinations that receive a high volume of glowing, above-and-beyond reviews from the TripAdvisor community over a 12-month period. 

Out of 8 million listings, fewer than 1% achieve this milestone — making Marrakech’s spot on the list even more impressive.
