2013 August Algiers



Algiers

All hotels in Algiers have taxi companies providing transport for guests.
In the hotel, they speak English, in the taxi not, which is a problem when you are alone and need to deal with the taxi driver. Unfortunately, I've paid more than I should have done. Basilica Notre Dame d'Afrique is one of the most famous places in Algiers. The basilica is open from 11:00 till 12:30 and from 15:00 till 17:30. It is a beautiful place with good sea view. It's good to ask the driver to stop is the 'Grand Poste' in the city centre.  Within 20 minutes walk from this place there are many other old buildings, some minarets and markets.

The city is crowded and dirty. I visited a few places not in the strict centre and I wasn't concerned about my security.

What is important, taking a picture of policemen, gendarme and soldiers is forbidden as well as pictures of strategic buildings.
