Constantine Airport
The gateway to Algeria's eastern interior
Mohamed Boudiaf International Airport
About 400 km from Algiers (5 to 6h44 by train depending on stops).
The city of bridges
Built above a 200-metre gorge
Constantine is arguably Algeria's most dramatic city on arrival: perched on a rocky plateau carved by the Rhummel gorge, it's stitched together by a series of suspension bridges, including the famous Sidi M'Cid bridge, and a cable car linking neighborhoods across the void. Bring sturdy shoes — the elevation changes and uneven streets are part of the city's charm.
Palace and mosque
The Ahmed Bey Palace, with its 19th-century courtyards and decoration, and the Emir Abdelkader Mosque, one of the country's largest, complete a visit to the historic centre. The Cirta Museum houses the archaeological collections of ancient Cirta, the Numidian and later Roman capital.
Roman day trips
Djemila and Timgad, two UNESCO sites
East of Constantine, Djemila is one of North Africa's most impressive Roman sites, with its forum, temples, the Arch of Caracalla and an on-site museum. Further southeast, Timgad, founded by Emperor Trajan, stands out for the clarity of its Roman street grid. Both UNESCO-listed sites are best explored with a guide who can explain what you're looking at — otherwise, much of the history is easy to miss.
Getting around & city life
Bridges, cable car and the Rhummel gorge
Simply walking between the bridges, pausing at the vertiginous viewpoints over the Rhummel gorge, is Constantine's signature experience. Trails and paths also descend into the gorge itself, popular with more adventurous visitors. Constantine is well connected by train to both Algiers and Annaba, making it a natural stop on a northeastern route.
