Tunis Travel Guide

Tunis, Tunisia's capital, blends a Unesco-listed Medina with ancient Roman mosaics.

📍 Destination Overview

Tunis, the capital of Tunisia, is a Mediterranean metropolis. Its UNESCO-listed Medina is a labyrinthine Islamic old city of mosques, souks and old houses, while the newer Boulevard Bourguiba reflects French colonial flair. The Bardo Museum holds some of the world's finest Roman mosaics, and Carthage's ruins are nearby. Past and East meet; weighty and diverse.
