With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience everything that Place of the Emir Abdelkader, 25 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Casbah, Algeria National Library and Great Mosque of Algiers. The locals will also probably point you toward Cathedrale de Notre Dame d’Afrique, 25 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Casbah. (But we’re also huge fans of Algeria National Library and Great Mosque of Algiers.)
