Martina J France 2 contributions 0 3 of 5 bubbles Ordinary Feb 2024 • Couples arduous hike to the fort. There are lots of stairs to ascend. However, the breathtaking views of the city and port make it well worth it. Many families with young children come to visit. It’s okay if you move slowly. Carry water with you at all times. Acceptable to drive, but parking is far away (approximately 500 meters). Read more Written July 9, 2024 This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You have to be careful when climbing because there are many uneven steps. But it’s worth it, the view is always fantastic when the weather is clear. It’s difficult to find a free parking space.

Naija M Algiers, Algeria 1,221 contributions 0 5 of 5 bubbles Great Views Feb 2024 • Solo Undoubtedly the number one tourist attraction in Oran. The views of the city and the Mediterranean are fantastic. I opted to visit by you and arranged for the driver to wait for me and then take me down into the city. This worked well for me.

Yassir drivers also tend to cancel rides often. 2. the teleferico hill top station is about 30 min walk away, and uphill from fort santa cruz. both the hill top and base station dont look like a place with many taxis lurking either. so plan accordingly so that you dont get stranded. this is not a place you want to linger around after dark. if you decide to walk from town, it is possible, but it will be a very long walk under the sun and through the alleys of casbah, which you will stand out like a sore thumb as a foreigner. i recommend a car.

But beautiful views of port and city certainly make it worthwhile. Lot of families visit with small children. Ok if yo keep slow pace. Keep drinking water with you.

The church here was restored by the Spanish. There is a very touching wall piece dedicated to the victims of terror in the 1990’s and beyond.
