Doors & Windows
by aliante1981
Many Tunisian towns and cities, including the capital city of Tunis, have since long been famous for the beautiful gates and windows of the houses. While the houses might be simple and minimalist, with just white walls and occasionally, scenes of the Hadj to Mecca, the wealth of the owners transpired in the workmanship of these traditional - and highly useful :)) - elements.
The dominating colours for doors are blue and beige (remember the door on the front page of one of the Lonely Planet guides?) with iron decorations in ornaments and often elaborate door knobs, while windows are dominated by blue.
Bardo Museum
by croisbeauty
The Bardo National Museum was inaugurated in 1888, with probably the world's best display of mosaics and certainly North Africa's best Roman collection.
This is the Corridor of Stelae and Sarcophagi, these and marble funerary statues.
Visit Sidi Bou Said
by chrissyalex
You must,must.must visit Sidi Bou Said! Sidi Bou Said a a town located about a 20 minute train ride outside of Tunis and it is GORGEOUS! All the buildings are whitewashed with bright blue trim and it is located on a high hiil overlooking the sea. Please visit my Sidi Bou Said page for for details and pictures.
Other Cafes
by Willettsworld about Other Cafes
Ave Habib Bourguiba is Tunis' answer to Paris' Champs Elysees and like its more famous French cousin, is lined with several cafe where the locals sit out under unbrellas at all times of the day and people watch. A cafe aux lait varies in price rather dramatically depending on which cafe you plumb for. For example it costs TD1.200 at the Cafe de Paris and a rather expensive TD2.500 at the El Hana International whilst only costing 900 mills at a cafe opposite the 5-star Africa Hotel.
