It sits at around 640 to 690 m above sea level, on a rocky plateau almost cut off by the gorge of the Rhumel river. The ravine is the reason the city looks the way it does: houses stand right on the cliff edge, and a series of bridges, from a 19th-century iron arch to a cable-stayed viaduct opened in 2014, link the old town to the rest of the city.\r\n\r\nIt is one of the oldest cities in North Africa. As Cirta, it was the capital of the Numidian king Massinissa in the 2nd century BC. It was destroyed in AD 311 and rebuilt two years later by the Roman emperor Constantine, who gave it its name. Later it was ruled by Muslim dynasties and the Ottomans, whose last bey, Ahmed, built the palace that is now the city's finest sight, before the French took the city in 1837.\r\n\r\nThe old town on the rock is the heart of it: the Souika quarter, with its lanes, markets and copper workshops, the Ahmed Bey Palace and the Grand Mosque. Many old houses are in poor repair, and a local guide helps. Around it, the French-era centre has the regional theatre and the squares around Place du 1er Novembre, while the newer districts spread south and west, linked by a tram line.\r\n\r\nConstantine is also the best base in eastern Algeria for Roman ruins. Tiddis is a half-day trip, and the UNESCO-listed cities of Dj\u00e9mila and Timgad are long day trips or overnight stops.\r\n\r\nVery few foreign tourists come, so expect curiosity, little English (French is widely understood) and the odd police checkpoint on the roads. Two or three nights is about right: one day for the bridges and old town, one for the palace and museums, and one for a trip to the ruins.","hw_hub_city_facts":"Getting there | Flights from Algiers (about 1 hour), direct trains three days a week (about 7 hours) or buses (about 5 hours)\r\nGetting around | Walk the old town and bridges; tram to the newer districts; taxis or Yassir\r\nTransport app | Yassir\r\nTap water | Drink bottled water\r\nEmergency numbers | Police 17 or 1548, ambulance 1021, fire 14\r\nLanguage | Arabic; French widely understood; little English\r\nAltitude | About 640\u2013690 m; cold winter nights\r\nHow long to stay | Two to three nights\r\nBest area to stay | The old town or near Place du 1er Novembre","hw_hub_city_areas_title":"Where to stay in Constantine","hw_hub_city_areas_intro":"Stay on or near the rock if you can: the old town and the streets around Place du 1er Novembre put the bridges, the palace and the souks within walking distance.

The Sidi M'Cid suspension bridge, opened in 1912, hangs 175 m above the Rhumel and was once the highest bridge in the world. Walk across it, then climb to the Monument aux Morts on the hill above, a 21 m arch modelled on Trajan's Arch at Timgad and inaugurated in 1930, for the best view over the gorge and the city. It is open-air and free.\r\n\r\nBack on the rock, the Mellah Slimane footbridge, opened in 1925, is 125 m long and only 2.4 m wide, for pedestrians only, with a lift at one end up to the old town. Bab El Kantara, at the oldest crossing point, is an iron arch built in the 1860s, and the Sidi Rached viaduct, finished in 1912, carries the road over the gorge on 27 stone arches. The newest, the cable-stayed Salah Bey viaduct, opened in 2014. The cable car across the gorge reopened in April 2025 after years out of service, and gives another view of the ravine.\r\n\r\nThe Ahmed Bey Palace, built between 1825 and 1835 for the last Ottoman bey, is Constantine's best sight: courtyards, gardens, about 47,000 glazed tiles and brightly painted walls. It reopened in 2009 after a long restoration. Allow about an hour; entry costs a few hundred dinars, and it is often closed on Fridays.\r\n\r\nWalk down from the palace into Souika, the old medina. Its main street, Rue Mellah Slimane, and the lanes around it have markets and copper and brass workshops. Many houses are crumbling, so go in the morning, and consider a local guide. The Grand Mosque, Djamaa El Kebir, dates from the 12th century and stands on the site of a Roman temple.\r\n\r\nThe Cirta National Museum, opened in 1930, has prehistoric, Numidian, Roman and Ottoman finds and a large collection of paintings. South of the centre, the Emir Abdelkader Mosque, opened in 1994, is one of the largest in Algeria, with two minarets 107 m tall. Visit outside prayer times and dress modestly; women should bring a headscarf.\r\n\r\nThe Chemin des Touristes, a path along the bottom of the gorge built in the 19th century, has been closed since 1958.

It is nothing like the tomato and egg dish of the same name elsewhere in North Africa.\r\n\r\nJari, the local name for chorba frik, a soup of cracked green wheat and lamb, is on every table during Ramadan. Look also for trida, mhajeb (stuffed square flatbreads), couscous and slow-cooked tagines.\r\n\r\nThe city is famous for sweets. Djouzia, a sticky nougat of honey and walnuts, is a Constantine speciality: Djawziyat Constantine, next to the Mellah Slimane bridge, makes its own and sells gift boxes. Makroud (semolina and dates), kalb el louz and baklava are sold in every pastry shop.\r\n\r\nA main dish in a local restaurant costs about 600 to 1,200 DZD. For a meal with a view, Restaurant Igherssan serves traditional dishes overlooking the cliffs, though it can be touristy.\r\n\r\nMost restaurants don't serve alcohol.

Air Alg\u00e9rie flies between Algiers and Constantine's Mohamed Boudiaf Airport in about an hour, and fares on comparison sites are often under \u20ac40 return. There are also direct international flights, including from Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Geneva and Istanbul. The airport is about 9 to 12 km south of the centre and isn't on the tram line, so take a taxi and agree the fare first.\r\n\r\nBy train, SNTF runs a direct service from Algiers Agha at 06:30 on Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays, arriving at 13:14, and back from Constantine at 06:40 on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Buy your ticket a day ahead, and check the timetable, as it changes. The station is just east of the gorge, across the Bab El Kantara bridge from the old town.\r\n\r\nBuses from Algiers take about five hours, and shared taxis (taxis collectifs) leave when full. Buses also run to S\u00e9tif in about two hours.\r\n\r\nIn town, the old town and the bridges are best on foot. The tram, opened in 2013 and extended in 2019 and 2021, runs about 18 km from the city centre south to Zouaghi and the new town of Ali Mendjeli; buy tickets at the stops. The cable car crosses the gorge, and taxis are cheap: agree the price before you get in, or use Yassir.\r\n\r\nFor the Roman ruins, hire a car with a driver through your hotel. Public transport to Dj\u00e9mila and Timgad is slow and involves changes in S\u00e9tif, El Eulma or Batna.

Online prices are charged at the official rate.\r\n\r\nFood costs little. A main dish in a local restaurant costs about 600 to 1,200 DZD, and street food, coffee and pastries less. A local beer in a hotel bar is around 1,000 DZD.\r\n\r\nSights are cheap: the Ahmed Bey Palace and the Cirta Museum cost a few hundred dinars each, and the bridges and the Monument aux Morts are free.\r\n\r\nThe bigger costs are getting around the region.

Flights from Algiers are good value.\r\n\r\nThe official rate is about 151 dinars to \u20ac1 (October 2026). Most travellers bring euros and change them on the informal market, where 2026 reports put the rate at around 250 to 275 dinars to the euro. It is widespread but unofficial: count every note, and remember you can't change dinars back without an official receipt.

Check before you travel.","hw_hub_city_faqs":"Is Constantine worth visiting? | Yes, if you are travelling in Algeria. The bridges over the Rhumel gorge are one of North Africa's most dramatic city sights, the Ahmed Bey Palace is superb, and the city is the best base for the Roman ruins at Dj\u00e9mila, Timgad and Tiddis.\r\nHow many days do you need in Constantine? | Two or three nights. Spend a day on the bridges and old town, half a day at the Ahmed Bey Palace and Cirta Museum, and a day on a trip to Dj\u00e9mila or Timgad.\r\nHow do I get from Algiers to Constantine? | Fly with Air Alg\u00e9rie in about an hour, often for under \u20ac40 return. The direct train leaves Algiers Agha at 06:30 on Saturdays, Mondays and Wednesdays and takes just under 7 hours. Buses take about 5 hours.\r\nIs Constantine safe? | The city is calm and outside the areas where the UK advises against travel. The UK says the terrorist threat is higher in rural and mountainous areas of the north, so use a trusted driver for day trips and travel by day. Expect police checkpoints and carry your passport.\r\nAre there hostels in Constantine? | Yes, one. Hostel Le Rhumel, in the old town, is listed on Hostelworld with dorms from around \u20ac20. Otherwise, budget hotels booked online start at about \u20ac32 a night.\r\nHow many bridges does Constantine have? | Sources count seven or eight across the Rhumel gorge. The best known are the Sidi M'Cid suspension bridge (1912), the Mellah Slimane footbridge (1925), the Bab El Kantara arch, the Sidi Rached viaduct and the Salah Bey viaduct, opened in 2014.\r\nCan I visit Dj\u00e9mila and Timgad from Constantine? | Yes, but not on the same day. Dj\u00e9mila is about 2 to 2.5 hours away and Timgad about 2.5 to 3 hours, and both are easiest with a car and driver arranged through your hotel. For Timgad, you can also stay a night in Batna.\r\nWhat should I eat in Constantine? | Chakhchoukha, small pieces of flatbread in a spiced sauce with meat, is the city's signature dish. Try jari soup, trida and djouzia, a walnut and honey nougat sold in gift boxes.\r\nWhen is the best time to visit Constantine? | Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). Summers are hot, with July averaging about 35\u00b0C, and winters are cold, with highs of about 13\u00b0C and occasional snow.\r\nCan I drink alcohol in Constantine? | Only in a few places. Most restaurants serve no alcohol, but bars in hotels such as the Novotel, ibis and Marriott serve beer and wine. Drinking in public is illegal.","hw_hub_city_cta_title":"Say yes to hostels, meet the world","hw_hub_city_cta_body":"Compare Constantine hostels: live prices, real reviews and free cancellation on most bookings.
