Things to do in  Algiers

A lush botanical garden in Algiers’ central Hamma district, Jardin d’Essai boasts stunning Mediterranean scenery and over 1,000 plant species. With its bubbling fountains and shaded paths, it’s a popular place to escape the bustle of Algeria’s capital city—the greenery even doubled as a jungle in Hollywood’s Tarzan of the Apes. Plus, its bayside location guarantees excellent views.
