Algiers Full-Day — Casbah, Bardo & Martyrs' Memorial

Overview

Algiers wears its history on the hillside. In a single day you climb through the UNESCO-listed Casbah — the dense Ottoman medina of stepped lanes, courtyard houses and old mosques above the bay — take in the archaeology and art of the Bardo National Museum, and stand beneath the soaring Martyrs' Memorial for the city's best view over the white houses and the Mediterranean. A traditional lunch breaks the day. It is the ideal first day in Algeria: the capital's layers, read end to end with a local guide.

Highlights

• The UNESCO Casbah, its alleys and old mosques
• Archaeology and history at the Bardo Museum
