Constantine's compact historical core and pedestrian-friendly streets make walking an enjoyable way to explore the city's unique architecture and dramatic setting. The medina, with its narrow alleys and buzzing souks, is best navigated on foot, offering an immersive experience of Constantine's rich history and culture. Highlights like the Emir Abdelkader Mosque, Monument to the Dead, and the city's famous suspension bridges are within reasonable walking distance for most visitors.

However, Constantine's dramatic geography, characterized by steep cliffs and gorges, can make walking challenging in certain areas. Exploring the city's iconic bridges, such as the Sidi M'Cid, requires some stamina, as does climbing to viewpoints like the Monument to the Dead or descending into the Rhumel Gorge. Comfortable shoes are essential, and summer visitors should plan their walks for the cooler hours of the morning or evening.

Taxis are an affordable and practical way to get around Constantine, especially for trips to areas like Monument to the Dead or neighborhoods farther from the city center. Licensed taxis in Constantine are typically yellow or white and feature official taxi signs on the roof, along with license plates marked with the Wilaya code 25, identifying them as registered in Constantine.

Short trips within the city center usually cost between 200–400 Algerian dinars (around $2–$3), while longer journeys, such as to Didouche Mourad or the Ain Smara district, may cost closer to 600–800 dinars. As with most Algerian cities, Constantine taxis typically don't use meters, so it's important to agree on the fare before starting your trip. Taxis are easy to find near Place des Martyrs, Emir Abdelkader Mosque, and major hotels, but arranging one through your accommodation is often the smoothest option. Always carry cash, as taxis rarely accept cards.

The Constantine Tramway, inaugurated in 2013, is a modern and efficient way to navigate the city. Its route connects key points of interest, including the city center, residential neighborhoods, and the university district. The tram provides a convenient option for travelers looking to avoid the city's steep inclines and navigate between landmarks. Stops near attractions like the Emir Abdelkader Mosque make it easy to incorporate the tram into your sightseeing plans.

Tickets cost 40 Algerian dinars (under 50 cents) for a one-way trip and can be purchased at stations or nearby kiosks. Trams typically operate from 5:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., arriving every 10–15 minutes during peak hours. The tram is air-conditioned and wheelchair-friendly, providing a comfortable and accessible way to explore Constantine, particularly during the city's warmer months.

Constantine's cable car system, known locally as the téléphérique or télécabine, is a must-try experience. Reopened in 2024 after a long hiatus, the cable cars offer stunning aerial views of the Rhumel Gorge and the city's famous suspension bridges. The most popular route connects the city center with the elevated neighborhood of Sidi Mabrouk, making it a practical option for tourists seeking to navigate Constantine's challenging topography while enjoying spectacular vistas.

Tickets are affordable, costing around 40–50 Algerian dinars (roughly 50 cents) per trip, and can be purchased at the terminals. Operating hours typically span daytime to early evening, but schedules can vary, especially in cases of inclement weather. Visitors are advised to check the service status and timetable at the Didouche Mourad terminal (behind the Cinémathèque movie theatre). As the cable car system is both practical and scenic, it's an excellent option for reaching key sites while enjoying Constantine's breathtaking landscapes.
