Constantine Cable Car
Télécabine de Constantine
A city cable car spanning the Rhumel Gorge, soaring over the canyon and suspension bridges in just a few minutes, with a very low fare.
Constantine's cable car opened in 2008. It runs about 1.5 km, linking the Tatache Belkacem station in the old city with the hospital and Emir Abdelkader district on the opposite side of the gorge. The one-way trip takes about 8 minutes, with views over the ravine, the Sidi M'Cid Bridge and the old city's cliffs from the cabin. The service was once suspended after a breakdown and resumed in 2024 after renovation and testing, so confirm it is running before you set out. The fare is a symbolic few dozen dinars.
