It depends on the place you are, but it's generally fine. You need to be careful as you would anywhere in the world. Prefer well-known and lively places like Val d'Hydra, Ben Aknoun, Hydra, Dely Brahim, Sidi Yahia, and Algiers Center.

It's a big city. It is pretty safe but you need to be smart and self aware, you better be conscious about your environment. Apart from that nothing to worry about. There are a lot of helpful people, the locals are generally nice.

Algeria is a very conserved place. We have a culture where women are protected and appreciated Yet there are some dummies who would flirt with you on the road but i don't think they would make a danger if you ignore them

Algeirs is like every country, no one is safe if you donโ€™t pay attention for everything , for example you have to wear proper clothes ( not too revealing) and do not interact with strangers at night .

Algiers is mostly safe if we walk during daytime, after night itโ€™s hard for us women to go out alone in certain areas so itโ€™s important to be well informed beforehand, also street harassment is very frequent you should expect that often

Is Algiers worth visiting?

Local

Safe. Beautiful. Affordable. You will enjoy your time. It's better to stay in the capital near the transport links. Bank cards aren't frequently used, so it's preferable to bring cash or exchange money upon arrival in Algeria. You're very welcome.
