Getting Around Agadir
Agadir is a compact seaside city, and much of what a visitor wants to see sits within a walkable core. For longer hops, or trips out to the wider urban area, you have a mix of buses, taxis, ride-hailing apps and rental vehicles to choose from. Note one important gap up front: Agadir has no train connection, so rail is not an option for getting in or around.
On Foot
The touristy part of Agadir is small enough to cover on foot. If you are basing yourself near the beach and the main hotel and restaurant strips, you can reasonably walk between most of the places you will want to visit during a stay.
Rail, Metro and Tram
There is no train connection with Agadir, and the city has no metro or tram network. For practical purposes, you can disregard rail-based transport entirely and plan around buses, taxis and walking instead.
Public Buses
Agadir has a public bus service that is described as quite reliable, and it is a cheap way to move around. Fares are usually paid directly to the driver, who will hand you a proper ticket — keep that ticket until the end of your journey, as there may be controls.
- Where to get information: Maps can be obtained from the Tourist Office along Boulevard Mohammad V, near the Miramar Hotel.
- Digital maps: The Agadir bus network is available on OpenStreetMap, so you can use a mobile app built on that data, such as OsmAnd or Mapy.cz.
- Regional connections: Inezgane, a short distance from the centre, is the region's bus hub. City buses run between Inezgane and Agadir centre and are described as convenient and fast; buses 97, 98 and 99 serve this route.
Intercity Buses
If your travels take you beyond Agadir, the main operators are CTM and Supratours, which depart from the CTM bus station. There are several daily direct services to and from Essaouira, Ouarzazate and Marrakech.
The Gare Routière in Inezgane serves all the destinations covered by CTM and Supratours plus many more, often at a cheaper fare. It is common to arrive there rather than in Agadir centre, especially if you are not relying on CTM or Supratours. From Inezgane you can reach Agadir centre by city bus or by grand taxi.
Along the Essaouira–Agadir corridor, intercity buses are easy to catch anywhere along the way, with roughly one bus an hour during the day. Unlike CTM and Supratours, local intercity buses are allowed to pick up additional passengers en route, which makes this a convenient way to explore the coast — including Taghazout — between the two cities.
Taxis and Ride-Hailing
Most of Agadir's petit taxis are quite legal and use the taximeter, and you can ask the driver to switch it on without any problem. Be aware that for trips around the centre, drivers will often quote a flat price rather than use the meter. This is not legal, and you can refuse to pay anything beyond the price shown on the taximeter, provided it was reset at the start of the trip.
Ride-hailing apps are also used in Agadir. The apps mentioned for the city include:
- Roby
- InDrive
- Careem
Grand taxis — collective taxis — are another option, particularly for regional hops. They typically leave when full and are a common way to cover short interurban distances such as the run between Inezgane and Agadir.
Motorbike and Car Rental
Mopeds can be rented around Hotel Kenzi, but they are expensive — more than 100 dirham an hour. Car rental is also available for those who want their own transport.
Getting from the Airport into the City
Agadir-Al Massira Airport (AGA) is the city's international gateway, with direct flights from major European cities as well as many charter flights from across Europe. If you are flying from the US, Canada, Asia or elsewhere, you will generally have to change planes in Casablanca. More international connections and ultra low-cost flights from Europe also serve Marrakesh, from where you can take an intercity bus to Agadir.
From the airport itself, you have several options for reaching the city:
- Official taxi: Costs 200 dirham plus 20 dirham per bag.
- Cheaper taxis: Can be found just outside the airport, with prices starting at 80–100 dirham.
- Collective grand taxis: At the roundabout just outside the airport territory you can usually find two or three grand taxis. These leave whenever full and go to Inezgane, roughly halfway to Agadir, for around 7 dirham. From Inezgane you can catch another collective taxi onward to Agadir.
- Bus: There are no direct buses from the airport, but transit bus #37 can be caught at the main road junction just outside the airport. It runs to Inezgane for about 7 dirham, roughly every 40 minutes or so. From Inezgane you then need another bus (about 4 dirham) or a grand taxi (about 7 dirham) to reach Agadir.
- Airport shuttle: The Alsa bus company launched a shuttle between the city centre and the airport, priced at 50 dirham one way or 80 dirham round-trip per person.
Because the airport sits closer to Inezgane than to central Agadir, it can sometimes be easier to head to Inezgane first and pick up onward buses to Marrakech, Ouarzazate, Taroudannt and other destinations from there.
