Tunis Hotels
Terrific Tunis
Tunis hasn’t yet been ravaged by the tourist onslaught, so it may be one of the best places to visit if you’re up for a chilled travel experience. The largest city of Tunisia is a maze of alleyways brimming with the scent of exotic spices and many, many fantastic deals. We’re talking bargain-shopper heaven here, guys! ... Read more »
Start by exploring how the other half live at Dar Ben Abdallah, a magnificent 19th Century palace that makes Buckingham Palace look like a tin shack! Next, catch a show at the majestic Theatre Municipal de Tunis, a place where theatre magic happens. Up for some haggling? Hit up the sweet-smelling Souk El Attarine and the Souk El Birka to bag a bargain or 10. And then, to get yourself ready for a night spent bar-hopping and restaurant-trying, grab some R&R in Belvedere Park with its killer view of Lake Tunis. Perfection!

TUNIS EVENTS
Who can resist the lure of the Tunis Furniture Exhibition in January to February? Bring plenty of cash – and a seriously big suitcase.
The Mediterranean Guitar Festival in March is the place for great tunes and cool crowds. Different genres are featured. Death metal, anyone?
Celebrate words ’n’ stuff at the Tunis International Book Fair during April and May.
Release your inner film critic at May’s International Film Festival. This is a pretty big deal for the city, so wear your shiniest diamonds and sharpest tux. Left your diamonds and tux at home? Slap on some jeans and go.
The Medina (old city area) will grant your every bargain wish with the stack of souqs open every single day. Pick up everything from cheap-as-chips silver jewellery to the most exquisite handmade silk scarves. Don’t forget to haggle!
WHEN TO GO
If you’re not a rain fan, it’s best to avoid the city from October to February.
Summer averages 28°C (82°F), so slap on the sunscreen and pack plenty of cool clothing.
Tunis’ winters are pretty mild, so you can leave that big ol’ coat at home.
GETTING AROUND
Most tourist spots lie in and around the Medina. Getting around on foot isn’t just possible; it’s advisable.
SNCFT trains are the best bet if you want to move around the greater city area.
While the Tunis Metro (light rail system) is fast and cheap, it’s also quite limited in terms of lines and routes.
