What is there to do in Algiers?

Imposing religious buildings looking over a landscape decorated in colour and beauty – in spite of all its enigmatic allure - Algiers’ ability to remain under the radar for holidaymakers is perhaps its most surprising facet. Not only is Algiers a truly wonderful place to explore, every creek and crevice filled with a unique symbol of history that embodies an era or movement, its close proximity to Europe will make you marvel at the reasons you didn’t visit sooner. Regardless of your idea of a good trip, Algeria’s capital is brimming with such charisma, culture and charm that it will satisfy your thirst for excitement; The Basilique Notre-Dame D’Afrique is perhaps the pinnacle of the pleasing aesthetics, a stunning edifice created several hundred years ago, emanating an aura of peace from its towering walls and royal spires. After exploring the grandiose architecture and soaking in the energy from the visceral memorials, Le Jardin D’Essai du Hamma is an oasis of tranquillity, affording an indelible experience among the rows of verdant foliage and quaint pools of water. Whatever your adventure in the daytime, make sure to sample some of the sumptuous food in the evening in one of the inviting restaurants, tantalising your taste buds with exotic herbs and spices.
