Algiers is the capital of Algeria, a whitewashed city rising in tiers above the Mediterranean on North Africa's coast. Known as Algiers the White, it layers French colonial boulevards over the ancient Ottoman Casbah. Lose yourself in its steep, sun-bleached alleys and let the sea views around every corner take your breath away!

Good to know before you go

The currency is the Algerian dinar and Arabic is official, with French widely spoken. To get around, lead with the clean, modern metro and tram serving the central districts, and for everything else registered taxis are the norm, while the ride-hailing app Yassir lets you book and pay without haggling; driving yourself is a hassle with the hilly streets and busy traffic. Carry some cash, dress modestly, and note that visitors normally need a visa arranged in advance.

Entry requirements and health

Visa required in advance

This one takes a bit more planning: you'll need a visa lined up ahead of time, usually through an embassy or consulate. Start early, since it can take a while.

Vaccines and health

Many travellers get vaccinated against hepatitis A and typhoid, which spread through food and water.

General orientation for a Canadian passport on a short tourist trip, not legal or medical advice. Confirm with official sources, and see a travel health clinic four to six weeks before departure.
