Tunisia is
Tunisia is calling! 🌊 Craving a mix of laid-back Mediterranean vibes and serious old-world charm? You can’t miss the neighborhoods of La Marsa and the iconic Tunis old town. Picture yourself standing on a breezy viewing deck overlooking the sea—blue skies (well, except when it gets a bit rainy and dramatic), palm trees swaying, and Western-style villas lining the coast. ✨
Top Spots to Visit:
1. Medina of Tunis (Old Town) – This UNESCO World Heritage site is packed with narrow alleys, vibrant souks, and stunning ancient mosques. Get lost here, grab local sweets, and soak up centuries-old culture. Address: Tunis 1008, Tunisia. Open all day, but go early for fewer crowds!
2. La Marsa – Head northeast for seaside cool. Stroll the promenade for epic Mediterranean views (like my rainy-sunny snapshot!), check out the European-style cafes, and scope out the local art scene. Don’t miss Café Saf Saf (Rue du 2 Mars 1934, opens from 8 am – midnight) for mint tea and people-watching.
Tip: Weather changes fast! Bring sunglasses AND an umbrella, especially for those sudden cloudbursts.
3. Corniche La Marsa – The coastal walk is perfect during golden hour. Snag a bench and just vibe with the salty air and city sights.
Getting Around:
Hop the TGM suburban train from downtown Tunis to La Marsa—cheap and scenic, plus way faster than a taxi in traffic.
Food Rec:
Grab a brik (crispy fried pastry) and fresh seafood at the beachside eateries. Try Restaurant Le Golfe (5 Avenue Habib Bourguiba, La Marsa) for views + flavors.
Key Insider Tips:
Tunisia uses the dinar—exchange a little cash on arrival and keep small bills on hand.
Spring is best: mild, less rain, good daylight for photos!
No need for a visa if you’re from the EU or many Western countries (double-check!).
