  1. Institut National de Cartographie et de Télé-Détecion

    The Institut National de Cartographie et de Télé-détecion is the state mapping agency and produces excellent 1:7500 large-scale sheet maps of the city. You usually have to buy them in sets of six, but Sheet 1.5 covers all of central Algiers, from Bologhine in the north to beyond the transport hubs at Sidi Mohamed in the south (and with a larger-scale inset of the Casbah). The INCT maps may also be available, or can be ordered, in some bookshops. Agir-Plus Edition has used these maps in its pocket-size Guide et Plans d’Alger (DA750), also packed with practical information.
