Top 10 attractions in Algeria
Botanical Garden Hamma
Botanical Garden Hamma is located in the city center of Algiers. It was established after the French drained the marshes in the Hamma area and was initially used to introduce and acclimatize plants from various continents. Today, it is home to thousands of plant species, with towering trees providing shade. A quiet retreat in the bustling city, it serves as the urban green lung where the people of Algiers go for daily walks and relaxation. The highlights here are concentrated in two distinct areas: the French-style garden on the west side descends in terraces, with a Washingtonia palm avenue running through it; from the high ground, you can enjoy distant views of the Bay of Algiers. The English-style garden on the east side features winding paths and dense shade, where dragon blood trees, giant bamboo, and banyan trees create an atmosphere almost like a tropical rainforest, and the wooden bridge over the lake offers a picturesque scene. The themed tree-lined avenues, such as the Dragon Blood Tree Avenue, Banyan Avenue, and Bamboo Avenue, are all living specimens left over from the plant acclimatization experiments of the past and are worth exploring at a leisurely pace. There is also a zoo on the north side, with an Art Deco-style gate that has a sense of history. Flamingos, Bengal tigers, and various parrots are the permanent residents here, making it a great place to visit with children. The "Tarzan tree," famous because the 1932 film "Tarzan the Ape Man" was filmed here, still stands in the park.Algeria · Algiers
Port of Algiers
Port of Algiers is located within the Bay of Algiers, stretching along the city center, and is one of Algeria's main gateways to the Mediterranean. This bay had the prototype of a port as early as the Phoenician trading post period. In the 16th century, "Redbeard" Hayreddin Barbarossa integrated the fortress built by the Spanish in the sea with the coast. For hundreds of years, it has been a hub for maritime traffic between Northern Africa and Europe, and to this day, it continues to operate regular passenger ferry routes to and from places like Marseille, France, and Alicante, Spain, and is also the first stop for many tourists entering Algeria. As passenger ships sail into the bay, vast stretches of white buildings spread out layer by layer along the hillside, with the Casbah overlooking the pier from above, making the title of Algiers as the "White City" take on real meaning at this moment. You can also take a walk along the surrounding waterfront to view the scene, watching fishing boats, ferries, and cranes all in one frame. In the cafes and restaurants of the surrounding blocks, you can also taste authentic Algerian home-cooked flavors like couscous and tagine.Algeria · Algiers
Royal Mausoleum of Mauretania
The Royal Tombs of the Province of Mauritania is located in Tipasa, about 70 kilometers west of Algiers, the capital of Algeria. It is a monument of great historical and cultural value. The mausoleum was built in the 3rd century BC and is the resting place of King Juba II of Numidia and his wife Cleopatra Selene II. The mausoleum is circular, about 60 meters in diameter and about 40 meters high. The exterior is made of exquisite stone blocks, showing the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient architecture. Visitors can drive from downtown Algiers by road, which takes about 1 hour. The environment around the mausoleum is quiet and suitable for hiking and taking pictures. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes to walk on uneven ground. There are no large commercial facilities nearby, so it is recommended to bring your own drinking water and snacks. Here you can not only appreciate the magnificence of ancient architecture, but also feel the weight of history. It is a good place to understand history and culture.Algeria · Algiers
Tipasa Historic Site
There are many ancient Roman ruins in Algeria, but Tipasa Roman Ruins Park is a popular attraction among these ruins due to its geographical location and other advantages. At present, what is displayed in the site park is only about 1/3 of the original ancient city area, and more parts are still buried under the sea sand. People can only imagine the prosperity of this ancient city with only a few restored pictures. The ancient city is built on the mountain and facing the sea, next to a small harbor with beautiful scenery. When you come here, you can not only see the ruins of ancient Rome, but also enjoy the blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. It is still a scenic spot worth visiting.Algeria · Tipasa
La grande poste of Algiers
The Grande Poste d'Alger was built in 1910 and is a neo-Moorish style building. It is also a landmark building in the center of Algiers, the capital of Algeria. The Big Post Office is still operating as a post office and often issues various first day covers and commemorative stamps from time to time. There is a bookstore opposite to sell postcards, you can buy them and send them at the post office.Algeria · Algiers
Chapelle Santa Cruz

Its unique architectural style blends Gothic and Romanesque elements, and its white facade stands out in the sunlight.

Sidi M'Cid Bridge
Sidi M'Cid Bridge is a 164 m long suspension bridge across the Rhummel River in Constantine, Algeria. It was opened to traffic in April 1912 and until 1929 was the highest bridge in the world at 175 m. The bridge was designed by French engineer Ferdinand Arnodin and links the Casbah to Sidi M'Cid hill. The bridge underwent restoration in 2000 when 12 of its cables were replaced by the Algerian company SAPTA.Algeria · Constantine

A place worth spending time in. In addition to the seaside promenade, the museums, characteristic blocks and cafes along the way are all worth experiencing. If you stay, I recommend el aurassi, where you can enjoy the harbor view, the three-leaf tower and the Grand Mosque while sitting on the balcony.

Tipasa Roman Ruins Park preserves the ruins of the ancient Roman city. It was built by the sea and has a history of more than 2,000 years. Although only ruins remain, the remaining buildings can vaguely show the magnificent scenes of the time. Especially the ancient Roman Colosseum here, you can feel the bloody scene at that time. It is the most worthwhile place to visit in Algiers.
