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.
