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.
