Algiers, Algeria

Why Walk Algiers

Algeria's capital is one of the Mediterranean's most striking cities, stacked on a hillside facing the sea. The Casbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a maze of steep, narrow lanes, whitewashed houses, Ottoman palaces, and mosques dating to the 17th century. Below it, the French colonial center features Haussmann-style boulevards, arcaded sidewalks, and the grand Grande Poste (Central Post Office) in Neo-Moorish style. The waterfront has been revitalized with promenades and gardens. Notre Dame d'Afrique, a basilica perched on a cliff above the city, offers one of the most spectacular panoramic views in North Africa.
