Algeria – Full day Algiers tour

Boulevard des Martyrs:
We head to the city centre just off the main road to Martyr’s Square where you can see a large modern mosque in bright yellow colour and an old colonial church.

Port of Algiers:
We pass the Fishermen’s Mosque and walk along the seafront facing the sea. It instantly reminds you of the port of Marseille with its colourful little boats and you will also find a set of beautiful European buildings.

The Grande Poste of Algiers
We pass the most colossal building in the city centre, the Grand Post Office, which is a fine example of Moorish architecture of early twentieth century French design.

The Bardo National Museum:
Located in a historic eighteenth-century mansion, its collections are dedicated to prehistory and ethnology.

Open to the public since the 1930s, the museum has no less than 8,000 works, including paintings by great Dutch and French masters such as Brugghen, Renoir, Monet, Matisse, Delacroix, Van Goyen, Gauguin and Pissarro

The Hamma Test Garden
After finishing with the bustling city centre, we head to one of the most welcoming places in Algiers, the Botanical Garden of El Hamma, a large garden dedicated to the collection and preservation of a wide range of plants, gigantic trees and a central area with fountains and lawns. It’s a great place to escape the heat and relax.

Martyr’s Memorial
Our next stop will be the emblem and the most imposing monument to the martyrs of 92 meters high, located on a hill and overlooking the entire city and visible from different angles of Algiers. You’ll get a pretty good shot from a certain point of view.

Basilica of Notre Dame d’Afrique (extra at 35€ extra)
We visit the beautiful church of Our Lady of Africa which dominates the long bay above Bab El Oued and it has a beautiful view and it has a beautiful ecclesiastical architecture.
