Algiers is Safe , youbjust need to be carful Keep in mind that men in the streets are gonna talk to you and bother you but its not dangerous They are just gonna piss you off if you know what i mean But over all if you wear something modest it is safe

It’s pretty much safe, no one will harm you physically but you will constantly get cat called, probably followed and harassed too .. I don’t recommend going out alone at night as a group of girls or solo, try to avoid buses(some men WILL try and touch you). Try to stay in busy areas and AVOID using indrive, use the yellow taxis, heetch or yassir Oh i forgot one more last thing, phone theft is very common so watch out!!

The city isn't very big , the safety overall is nice and most of the people here are polite and quite,though sometimes it can be uncomfortable to walking around in shaddy areas or because catcalling (though it only accure in late hours or shaddy places)

It was safe fun splendid . Nothing to say really. It’s not expensive at all and not very crowded.the Virgin Mary statue is pretty interesting to check out. Also moskes and ancient structures are worth the visit.
