Absolutely. Fez is an enticing place, especially its old Medina. Walking the narrow streets is like taking part in a time travel, really. You'll see mules carrying all sorts of goods, camel heads hanging in front of a special butcher's shop. You'll smell thousands of smells from nice frangrances to horrible odours. You can visit the old tanneries where skin is processed the traditional way (smelly and spectacular). There is an enormous number of shops selling all sorts of handicraft at bargain prices - even better if you can bargain:)
Then I haven't mentioned the great food - more traditional stuff in the old town, also European food in the new town.
So, if you have the chance, go!

Yes, but it wouldn't be my top choice in Morocco. Fez has three main parts - the oldest part of the city (Fez al Bali), the newer medina (Fez Jdid) and the new, French-built part of town with wide avenues and fountains. I love Fez al Bali and the ville nouvelle (new city) but not Fez Jdid so much.
Spend the day in Fez al Bali for shopping, historical sites, and just wandering, and relax in the new city in the evening at a cafe.
