Tlemcen Province
Once the capital of a medieval Berber kingdom, Tlemcen preserves some of North Africa's finest Islamic architecture, including the Great Mosque and the ruined pilgrimage complex of Mansourah. Set against wooded hills near the Moroccan border, it pairs monuments with waterfalls and caves in the surrounding national park.

Batna Province
Set in the Aurès Mountains, this park shelters one of Algeria's last Atlas cedar forests. Its high ridges and deep gorges provide refuge for Barbary macaques and birds of prey.

Chapter III · Constantine Province · 5 places
Constantine Province
Built on a plateau split by the dizzying Rhumel Gorge, Constantine is a city of bridges suspended over sheer ravines, from the arched Sidi M'Cid footbridge to Ottoman-era spans. The Palace of Ahmed Bey and a dense old medina add depth to its dramatic setting.

Oran Province
Algeria's second city rises from a Mediterranean bay beneath the Spanish-built Santa Cruz fort, its center a mix of Ottoman, Spanish, and French colonial architecture. Known as the birthplace of rai music, Oran has a livelier, more easygoing feel than the capital.
