Symbole d’un brassage culturel vieux de plusieurs millénaires, les vestiges puniques et romains de Tipasa se situent à une cinquantaine de kilomètres à l’ouest d’Alger.

Wander the streets and alleyways of the Kasbah

Awarded UNESCO world heritage status in 1982, the historic district of the Algerian capital is a fine example of Arab-Berber architecture. Wend your way on foot through the narrow streets, up and down steps and through interior courtyards. Its souk is famous for its fruit and vegetables and its artisan stalls are unrivalled!

Visit the Museum of Fine Arts

The national Museum of Fine Arts in Algiers is quite simply the largest of its kind in the Arab world! Rodin, Degas, Matisse and Delacroix adorn its walls alongside the works of the most famous classic and contemporary Algerian artists. A museum that deserves to be more famous than it is.

Take the cable car to Notre Dame d'Afrique

Algier's surrounding hills are well worth a visit and an investment in a sturdy pair of walking boots! However, those who are less sporty can take one of the five cable cars serving the main tourist sites. This is an excellent way to admire the stunning views from the square in front of Notre-Dame d'Afrique Basilica.
