Algiers algeria

Discover the rich history, culture, and architecture of Algiers, Algeria. Plan your visit to this vibrant city and experience its unique blend of Mediterranean and Arabic influences.
In ways both beautiful and haunting, Algiers wears its history on its sleeve like few other cities. Algeria has only been an independent nation since 1962, and the century-plus it spent under French rule is reflected in the architecture, cuisine and overall atmosphere of its bustling capital — not that it doesn’t have an identity of its own. Quite the opposite, as Algiers continues to surprise locals and visitors alike with a melange of cultures that's nothing if not distinct.
