2026 Tunis Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

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!). #TunisiaTravel #LaMarsaViews #MedinaMagic #SeaSideChillin #tripdotcom

#2024wish i wish that i win this year for my first time of my life. The most important thing is to believe on your self and provide a positive vibe.

Amazing Land with amazing scenery. Really a hidden gem in North Africa. Sunse, Sunrise, Blue Sky, everything is there. Really recommended I am falling in love with the country, the food, the weather, the currency (its cheaper than Euro) and everything between. #falltrip #localguides #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #familytrip #travel #holidayvacation

Beautiful times in Tunis - such an interesting, vibrant and creative city! Highly underrated. It’s so beautiful and people are so friendly but relaxed. I visited galleries/exhibitions almost every night with a group of artists I met there. The coastal areas like Sidi Bou Said, La Marsa, Gammarth etc are like 30 mins from the city centre and so gorgeous too - it was low season and not too warm so I didn’t swim but I’ve heard it’s amazing in the spring, summer and autumn. Definitely go if you can!

This cafe is located in Medina An Souk, the heart of Tunis. I could feel the historical and traditional atmosphere. I visited in the morning and ordered an omelette and crepe for breakfast. Personally, I liked the omelette because it had ham and tuna on it, but the crepe was a bit too thick.🥲 I really liked the traditional atmosphere, and you should try their signature menu, almond tea! They put whole almonds in it. 📍Café du Souk Q5WC+J4V, Tunis, Tunisie #Overseas travel

Tunis is the capital of Tunisia and is a jewel of Arabian culture with beautiful historical heritage and cultural landscapes. In particular, the historical city district of Tunis, Kartun City, is a World Heritage Site where you can explore narrow alleys, traditional markets, and historical buildings. Compared to other cities in Tunisia, I was able to enjoy a much more open Islamic culture. There were many places where alcohol and pork were allowed! #Overseas travel
