Africa / Algeria
Places to go. A little room to wander.
THE SHORTLIST
Hippone
The remains of ancient Hippone explain the city that preceded modern Annaba. Give the layout time to emerge instead of treating it as a quick photograph; carry water and confirm visitor access before setting out.
Allow about 90 minutes · planning estimate
Hippone hill
The basilica connects Annaba with Augustine, who served as bishop of ancient Hippo. Visit it alongside the ruins to separate the ancient city from this later building, and respect worshippers when looking inside or taking photographs.
Allow about 60 minutes · planning estimate
Old Annaba
The old town adds a lived urban layer to the archaeological visit. Walk slowly through its streets rather than searching for a single viewing platform, keep private entrances clear, and ask permission before photographing residents or interiors.
Allow about 90 minutes · planning estimate
A note before you go. Pair Hippone and the basilica on one day. Explore the old town separately, checking local access and using a knowledgeable local guide for historical context.
