Money & costs
Money
Algiers is awash with ATMs, but only one is likely to accept foreign cards, the Crédit Populaire d’Algérie (021 635687; blvd Colonel Amirouche), and even that is not to be relied on. Travellers cheques can be cashed at several large banks near the Grande Poste, but it is slow, as is drawing cash on Visa. There are many Western Union branches, the most central at the Grande Poste. Cash can be changed at many banks, hotels and, at the best rate, on the street at place Port Saïd.
