Tunis Travel Guide

 Quartzy Says:  The Bardo is the most important attraction in Tunis. We had to go through it quite quickly, as it was an unexpected stop our driver made while driving us to the hotel, but it was still nice to see. So we spent about an hour there, but you can and should undoubtedly take... 

 angiebabe Says:  Recommended as one of the Worlds must-see museums!! So I was all pumped up ready to be excited - as I love mosaics - and this place is full of them - and full of well regarded ones from various sites around Tunisia so the historical value and preservation value of them is... 

 hydronetta Says:  After our failure to have a fine dining in Sidi Bou Said (one restaurant fully reserved the other closed), we returned back to Tunis and we went to Andalous restaurant located just off Av. Bourguiba. as mentioned in my guide book, it's a dim lit restaurant.As the main dining... 

 alamoaesthete Says:  Au Bon Vieux Temps has a delightful location in Sidi Bou Said, with views looking out over the Gulf of Tunis. Unfortunately, the food and service cannot be recommended. On a recent visit, my friend and I ordered main courses of lamb couscous and fish with preserved lemons,... 

 clouds111 Says:  Try some sweets from the street vendors in Tunis if you're peckish - jalabies and burfi are good. The first one I had was pretty good. The second one I had was covered in hairs and wasn't so good... it's hit and miss!

 Willettsworld Says:  To get off the beaten path and experience a non Medina and more local side of daily life in Tunis, head for the Sahib El-Tabia Mosque which is located a few hundred metres north of the Medina. On the way you'll pass by a street lines with fruit and vegetable stalls with... 

 Bushman23 Says:  The most relevant and popular advice given to us, by everyone from fellow tourists, tour guides, even the locals, was: "Carry your bag on you stomach!". It's the only way to make sure no-one helps themselves to your belongings, especially when you're in the Medina of any of... 

 hydronetta Says:  Tunisia is an extremely safe country to visit, its people are nice, friendly and kind and it's unlike you face any harassment (except maybe from very tourist areas by the coast)Our only problem was some (not all) taxi drivers (mainly outside airport and Medina) that they... 

 Willettsworld Says:  In some parts of the Medina, you'll find these useful maps which have been made from tiles. Most of the alleys and passageways have their names in both Arabic and French so it shouldn't be hard to find where you are and where you want to go but if you do get lost then simply...
