See & Do in Algiers

Le Jardin d’Essai du Hamma

An unexpected gem in the middle of this ancient city, this 58 hectare park in the suburb of Rabat is home to over a thousand species of flora. A large water feature runs through the centre.

National Museum of Antiquities

Extraordinary building in the Plauteau Sauliere district. The best collection of Algerian artefacts and antiquities.

Casbah of Algiers

The citadel of Algiers, dotted with Ottoman-style palaces and mosques from as early as the 18th century. The Dar Hassan Pacham is a must-see. You’ll need sensible shoes for the winding cobbled streets. Be sure to take a guide.
