Bejaia combines a Mediterranean port with the silhouette of the Gouraya, a protected relief that dominates the city. The Pic des Monches and the summit of Yemma Gouraya offer two readings of the coast. The discovery thus alternates urban history, wooded slopes and viewpoints, with routes whose elevation must be anticipated.

General presentation
Béjaïa et le Gouraya
Bejaia combines a Mediterranean port with the silhouette of the Gouraya, a protected relief that dominates the city. The Pic des Monches and the summit of Yemma Gouraya offer two readings of the coast. The discovery thus alternates urban history, wooded slopes and viewpoints, with routes whose elevation must be anticipated.
To understand what Bejaia and Gouraya are, you must look at the Gouraya National Park, the Woodpecker and the Bejaia, the Gulf city. These places give you a view of a territory marked by urban life, the coastline, mountain reliefs and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 4 days, it is better to balance the visits and the travel times. Also to be anticipated: elevation and condition of roads varying according to sector and season and time, rates and detailed accessibility unverified. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.

Nature
Parc national de Gouraya
The park of Gouraya protects from coastal reliefs at the immediate contact of Bejaya. It gives a common setting to the views and natural spaces close to the city, including the Pic des Singes and the summit of Gouraya.

Nature
Pic des Singes
The Woodpecker is located in the sector of Cape Carbon, northwest of Bejaia. This coastal relief is a point of reading the encounter between mountains and the Mediterranean; its name does not guarantee any animal observation.

Walk
Béjaïa, ville du golfe
Bejaia is a port town on the Gulf that bears its name. Its relationship with the sea and the mountains of the Gouraya allows to understand its location, in addition to the natural discoveries conducted in the nearby park.

Heritage
Yemma Gouraya et son fort sommital
The summit of Yemma Gouraya dominates Bejaya and carries a historic fort. The place is associated with the tradition of the holy protector of the city; this cultual narrative must be presented as such, distinctly from the military remains attested.
