The essentials of Algeria, a perfect first look at the country.
The Algeria Discovery Escape is the easiest way to see Algeria for the first time. You explore Algiers, the white city on its bay, walk the lanes of the Casbah, and follow the Mediterranean coast to the Roman city of Tipaza.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992: Ottoman-era houses, palaces and mosques packed on a hillside above the bay.

The 19th-century basilica on the heights of Algiers, with one of the finest views over the city and the sea.

Punic, Roman and early Christian ruins right on the Mediterranean, listed by UNESCO in 1982.
A first trip to Algeria, a shorter stay, or travelers who prefer cities, culture and the coast.
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the most pleasant seasons on the coast.
