What to see in Tunis

1. Médina de Tunis & Zitouna
   The Medina of Tunis is one of the best-preserved medieval urban fabrics in the Arab world, with covered lanes, fondouks and souks that still serve local residents.
2. Musée du Bardo
   Set in a former palace of the Husainid beys, the museum holds one of the world's richest collections of Roman mosaics, drawn largely from Carthage, Dougga and Thysdrus.
3. Carthage (thermes d'Antonin)
   These Roman baths, built under Antoninus Pius in the 2nd century, stand on a hill overlooking the sea and give a clear sense of the scale of ancient Carthage.
4. Sidi Bou Saïd
   This whitewashed village with blue doors and windows sits on a cliff above the Gulf of Tunis, about twenty kilometres northeast of the capital.
5. Avenue Habib Bourguiba
   This is the main artery linking modern Tunis to the seafront and the medina.
6. Souk El Attarine
   This covered lane of the Tunis medina is where you smell the perfumes before you see the shops.
7. Plage de La Marsa
   La Marsa is a popular seaside resort on the northern edge of Tunis, where neighbourhood life and the sea meet.
8. Dar El Jeld
   Set in a restored traditional house in the Tunis medina, Dar El Jeld serves Tunisian cooking in a historic setting.
