At one end is the medina, founded in the 7th century around the Zitouna Mosque and listed by UNESCO in 1979, a maze of covered souks, palaces and workshops that is still very much lived in.\r\n\r\nJust east of the medina's Bab el Bhar gate, the Ville Nouvelle begins: the 19th and 20th-century French city, with Avenue Habib Bourguiba, the city's grand tree-lined boulevard, its cathedral, theatre and pavement caf\u00e9s. This is where you will find banks, cheap hotels and the TGM station at Tunis Marine.\r\n\r\nThe TGM, a light railway across the lagoon, is the key to the rest. In half an hour it takes you to Carthage, the Phoenician city destroyed by Rome and rebuilt as the capital of Roman Africa, whose ruins are scattered among the villas of a wealthy suburb. Two stops further is Sidi Bou Said, the clifftop village of white walls and blue doors, and at the end of the line is La Marsa, with a beach and some of the city's best bars and restaurants.\r\n\r\nWest of the centre, the Bardo Museum holds one of the world's finest collections of Roman mosaics.\r\n\r\nTunis is relaxed by North African standards. Touts in the medina are fewer and gentler than in Marrakech, French is widely spoken, and the city is easy to explore on foot and by tram. Three nights is ideal: one day for the medina and downtown, one for Carthage and Sidi Bou Said, and one for the Bardo or a day trip.","hw_hub_city_facts":"Airport transfer | Tunis\u2013Carthage Airport is about 8 km away: metered taxi 8\u201315 TND, Bolt 12\u201320 TND, bus 35 about 0.5 TND\r\nGetting around | Walk the medina; TGM to the coast, m\u00e9tro l\u00e9ger tram around the city\r\nTransport app | Bolt, with patchy coverage; metered yellow taxis are easy to find\r\nTap water | Treated, but most visitors drink bottled\r\nTipping | Round up in caf\u00e9s and taxis; about 10% in restaurants\r\nEmergency numbers | Police 197, ambulance 190, fire 198\r\nLanguage | Tunisian Arabic and French; English in hostels\r\nHow long to stay | Three nights\r\nBest area to stay | The medina for atmosphere, Sidi Bou Said or La Marsa for the sea\r\nDress | Cover shoulders and knees in the medina","hw_hub_city_areas_title":"Where to stay in Tunis","hw_hub_city_areas_intro":"The choice is between the medina, for atmosphere and the cheapest beds, the Ville Nouvelle, for convenience, and the seaside suburbs of Sidi Bou Said and La Marsa, for calm and the beach.

Non-Muslims can usually look into the courtyard from a viewing area at set morning hours, but cannot enter the prayer hall. Around it are the souks, each once devoted to one trade: perfumes in Souk el Attarine, red chechia caps in Souk ech Chaouachia, gold, cloth and spices further in. Look for Dar Ben Abdallah, an 18th-century palace that houses a museum of traditional life, and the domed Tourbet el Bey, the tomb of the Husseinite beys.\r\n\r\nThe Bardo Museum, in a former palace west of the centre, is Tunisia's national museum and one of the great museums of the Mediterranean. Its Roman mosaics, many from Carthage, Dougga and El Jem, cover whole walls and floors, and include the famous portrait of Virgil with two muses. Allow two hours, and expect a ticket of around 10 to 15 TND.\r\n\r\nFor Carthage, take the TGM to Carthage Hannibal and walk up Byrsa Hill, where the Carthage Museum overlooks the remains of the Punic city. From there, visit the Antonine Baths, the largest Roman baths in Africa, set by the sea, the circular Punic Ports, the Tophet sanctuary and the Roman villas. One combined ticket, about 12 to 18 TND, covers the main sites, which are spread out, so allow half a day.\r\n\r\nFinish in Sidi Bou Said, two stops on. Climb the main street to Caf\u00e9 des Nattes for mint tea with pine nuts, visit Ennejma Ezzahra, the palace built by the Baron d'Erlanger with its centre for Arab music, and walk down to the cliffs for sunset over the gulf.","hw_hub_city_do_points":"Zitouna Mosque | Courtyard viewable by non-Muslims at set morning hours\r\nBardo Museum | Roman mosaics; about 10\u201315 TND; tram line 4\r\nCarthage | Combined ticket about 12\u201318 TND; allow half a day\r\nAntonine Baths | Largest Roman baths in Africa, by the sea\r\nSidi Bou Said | Caf\u00e9 des Nattes and sunset on the cliffs\r\nDar Ben Abdallah | 18th-century medina palace and museum","hw_hub_city_do_tag":"things-to-do","hw_hub_city_do_more":"All things to do in Tunis","hw_hub_city_free_title":"Tunis for free (or nearly)","hw_hub_city_free_body":"Some of the best of Tunis costs nothing.

The walk down the cliff path to the small marina is free.\r\n\r\nAt La Marsa, the beach is free and busy with locals in summer. The Belv\u00e9d\u00e8re Park, north of the centre, is the city's biggest green space and has views over the city from the top.\r\n\r\nLook out for free exhibitions at galleries in Sidi Bou Said and La Marsa, and the evening atmosphere in the medina during Ramadan, when caf\u00e9s stay open late and concerts are held in old palaces.","hw_hub_city_free_points":"Medina back streets | Towards Bab Souika and Halfaouine\r\nAvenue Habib Bourguiba | Cathedral, theatre and caf\u00e9 terraces\r\nSidi Bou Said | Free to wander; go early or late\r\nLa Marsa beach | Busy with locals in summer\r\nBelv\u00e9d\u00e8re Park | Green space with city views\r\nRamadan nights | Late caf\u00e9s and concerts in the medina","hw_hub_city_free_tag":"free","hw_hub_city_free_more":"All free things to do in Tunis","hw_hub_city_food_title":"Lablabi, brik and couscous on Fridays","hw_hub_city_food_body":"Eat like a Tunisian and you will eat very cheaply.

In the medina, look for sweets shops selling makroudh and baklava.\r\n\r\nSit-down restaurants in the Ville Nouvelle and La Marsa cost around 20 to 35 TND a person, and more for seafood.

They tend to be male-dominated and close early.\r\n\r\nLa Marsa and Gammarth, at the northern end of the TGM line, are where younger Tunisians go out. Bars, lounges and beach clubs line the seafront, and Gammarth's clubs are busiest at weekends and in summer.\r\n\r\nIn July and August, the Carthage International Festival brings concerts to the Roman theatre, and during Ramadan the medina hosts evening concerts and stays awake until late.\r\n\r\nTaxis are cheap, so take one home at night: insist on the meter, and expect a surcharge after 9pm.

Check before you travel.","hw_hub_city_faqs":"How do I get from Tunis airport to the city centre? | A metered yellow taxi costs about 8 to 15 TND and takes 15 to 30 minutes. Insist on the meter. Bolt costs around 12 to 20 TND but is patchy, and bus 35 goes to Tunis Marine for about 0.5 TND.\r\nHow do I get to Carthage and Sidi Bou Said? | Take the TGM light railway from Tunis Marine, at the end of Avenue Habib Bourguiba. Get off at Carthage Hannibal for Byrsa Hill and the museum, and at Sidi Bou Said for the village. A ticket costs about 1 TND.\r\nHow many days do you need in Tunis? | Three days is ideal: one for the medina and downtown, one for Carthage and Sidi Bou Said, and one for the Bardo or a day trip to Dougga. Two days is enough for the highlights.\r\nIs Tunis safe? | Yes, for most visitors. Watch for pickpockets in the souks and on the TGM, decline \"free rooftop view\" offers, and insist on the meter in taxis. Avoid demonstrations, which happen on Avenue Habib Bourguiba.\r\nWhere should I stay in Tunis? | The medina has the cheapest beds and the most atmosphere. The Ville Nouvelle is convenient for transport. Sidi Bou Said and La Marsa are calmer and by the sea, 30 minutes from the centre on the TGM.\r\nIs the Bardo Museum open? | The Bardo reopened after its closure from 2021 and is one of the highlights of Tunis. Tickets cost around 10 to 15 TND. Check opening days before you go, as it usually closes one day a week.\r\nHow much does a day in Tunis cost? | A shoestring day with a dorm bed, street food, the TGM and one sight costs about \u20ac25 to \u20ac30. A mid-range day with restaurant meals and guesthouse rooms is closer to \u20ac55 to \u20ac60.\r\nCan I visit the Zitouna Mosque? | Non-Muslims can usually see the courtyard from a viewing area at set times in the morning, but cannot enter the prayer hall. Dress modestly, with shoulders and knees covered.\r\nHow do I get from Tunis to Sousse? | Trains from the main station take about two hours and cost around 10 to 12 TND. Louages from the Moncef Bey station cost about 10 to 14 TND and leave when full.\r\nWhat is the best time to visit Tunis? | April to June and September to October, when it is warm but not too hot for walking. July and August are hot but good for the beach, and winter is mild but wetter.","hw_hub_city_cta_title":"Say yes to hostels, meet the world","hw_hub_city_cta_body":"Compare Tunis hostels: live prices, real reviews and free cancellation on most bookings.
