About this place
Annaba is a coastal city in Northeast Algeria that blends French colonial architecture with deep Ottoman roots. The compact city center makes it easy to explore on foot, and the mix of old and new gives it a distinct character. Le Cours, the central square, is the heart of local life, lined with cafés and ice cream parlors where residents gather throughout the day.
Beyond the boulevards, the 12th-century Kasbah offers a glimpse into the city's past with its narrow alleys and Ottoman-era details. The corniche and nearby beaches anchor the city's leisure side, while the local food scene—especially bourek and café culture—rewards curious travelers.

Things to Do
- Stroll Le Cours — the central square is filled with local cafés and ice cream parlors, perfect for people-watching and a relaxed coffee or croissant.
- Try bourek — this east-Algerian specialty, similar to a crispy eggroll, is a point of local pride and widely available around the city.
- Sample Algerian pizza — local cafés and restaurants serve a thinner, lighter style of pizza that's a welcome change from typical western versions.

Planning Tips
- Use taxis to get around — they are the easiest and most efficient way to navigate the city, and they are readily available.
- Check flight schedules carefully — international connections to Paris and Istanbul exist but are infrequent, so confirm Air Algérie timetables well ahead.
- Train from Algiers — a daily night service from Agha station provides a first-class couchette option (DA1770), with tickets sold from 14:00 on the day of departure.
- Regional connections — shared taxis to Tunis (around DA3000, 6–7 hours including border formalities) are available near the bus station for cross-border trips.
