Full guideLast updated: 11/07/2026

🗓️Best time to visit

April–June and September–October; hot summers, mild rainy winters.

📸Top activities & landmarks

  • The medina, Zaytuna, and its craft souqs
  • Carthage: the Antonine baths and Byrsa hill
  • Sidi Bou Said and Café des Délices
  • The Bardo and the world's greatest mosaics
  • Seaside La Marsa

🏨Where to stay

The coastal suburbs (Gammarth, La Marsa) for resort comfort; the center works by day, dims by night.

⚠️Tips & warnings

The TGM coastal train links the capital to Carthage and Sidi Bou Said — easier than driving. Medina sellers are friendly with classic persistence: a smiling 'shukran' suffices. Check Bardo's current opening days — they've fluctuated.
