About Algiers

Algiers blends fortress-and-coast drama with a vibrant, modern rhythm along the glittering Mediterranean. Perched within the storied Casbah, narrow alleys unfurl past whitewashed houses, hidden courtyards, and sunset views that reveal the city’s layered history—from Ottoman echoes to French colonial influences. The city invites exploration of the Basilica of Notre-Dame d'Afrique, the soaring Martyrs' Memorial, and the lush Jardin d'Essai du Hamma, where palm trees overlook shimmering bays. Wander the port, ride a tram along the waterfront, savor spicy chimichurri-style merguez and fragrant couscous, and soak in the hospitable Algerian spirit that makes Algiers a striking, endlessly intriguing coastal capital.
