Getting to Algiers by Ferry

Being a major port town, there are several ferry routes to Algiers from continental Europe including from Marseille in France and Alicante in Spain. Ferry schedules can vary quite drastically according to the season, so always check the schedule and book well ahead of your travel date.

Getting to Algiers by Train

Rail is an easy way to reach destinations within Algeria, but not great for traveling to its neighbouring countries. Trains leave from two main stations in Algiers, Gare Centrale and Gare de l’Agha, to Bejaia, Constantine, and Annaba in the east of Algeria, and Oran and Tlemcen in the West. Solo travel is not recommended however, and if travelling along is unavoidable, t is best to travel with pre-arranged group tours.

Getting to Algiers by Road

Those towns not reachable by train will almost certainly be reachable by long-distance bus. Buses for out-of-town leave from the Gare Routiere de Kharouba station in Algiers. Once you have reached the town or city to wish to travel to, a taxi is the best way to continue your journey to your final destination.
