Algeria Trip: Kasbah Balcony Views in Algiers!

Ready to explore Algiers? 🚀 Here’s my top hit-list from the city’s dazzling Casbah and downtown scene—think centuries-old mosques, jaw-dropping museums, and balcony views you *cannot* skip! Top Spots to Visit: 🎨 National Museum of Arts and Popular Traditions (9 rue Mohamed Akli Malek, Casbah 16000) — Start here for a legit crash course in Algerian culture! Open Mon-Thu, Sat-Sun 08:30-12:00, 13:00-16:30. Don’t miss the traditional crafts. 🕌 Djemaa El Djedid (Boulevard Amilcar Cabral, Q3M7+X69) — Iconic Ottoman-era mosque, right by the waterfront. It’s open all day, so pop by whenever fits your stroll. 🌄 Balcony of the Kasbah (Q3P5+XRM, Soleil, Unnamed Road) — Outrageous views! Snap some city panoramas and try sunrise if you’re an early bird. 🖼️ Dar Mustapha Pacha (Rue Aoua Abdelkader, Casbah 16307) — This museum is all about old-school illumination, miniatures and calligraphy—don’t skip it! 🌊 Bab Al Bahr (Rue Saadi et Mokhtar Ben Hafidh, Q3M7+Q6R) — Feel that Mediterranean breeze! This historic city gate sets the mood for a proper Casbah adventure. 📍 Martyrs' Square, The old Kasbah, Dar Hassan Pacha, Mosquee Sidi Abderrhamane — All are walkable, totally worth wandering for those history and architecture vibes. Pro Tips: 🚶 The Casbah is best done on foot—wear good shoes, the streets are hilly and narrow. ⏰ Museums close for lunch, so plan to hit streets or snack midday. 🍽️ Try local bites at nearby cafés—search for couscous and mint tea hotspots close to the Kasbah. 💵 Cash rules, so hit an ATM before you start exploring. ☀️ Weather swings: bring sunscreen (summer) or a light jacket (spring/fall). #algierstravel #casbahexplorer #museummagic #eatalgeria #tripdotcom
