Everything Within Reach From Tunis Carthage

The north of Tunisia radiates outward from Tunis. With a rental car you connect coastal villages, ancient ruins and the Atlas mountains in a single trip.

Tunis Medina & Bardo Museum

15 min

The UNESCO-listed medina of Tunis is a living labyrinth of souks, mosques and Ottoman palaces. Park on the avenue and walk the ancient alleyways. The Bardo Museum — one of the world's greatest collections of Roman mosaics — is five minutes by car from the airport itself.

Carthage & Sidi Bou Said

10 min

The ancient Carthaginian ruins sit barely a kilometre from the runway. Walk the Antonine Baths, the Tophet sanctuary and Byrsa Hill in a morning. Then drive five minutes north to Sidi Bou Said — the blue-and-white clifftop village that inspired artists from Paul Klee to Simone de Beauvoir.

Cap Bon Peninsula

1 hr

East of Tunis, Cap Bon curves out into the Mediterranean. Drive through the wine-producing hills of Grombalia, the Roman ruins at Kerkouane (Tunisia's only unmodified Punic town), and the whitewashed streets of Nabeul. The cape's beaches are quieter and cleaner than the resort coast further south.

Bizerte & Lake Ichkeul

1 hr

An hour north of Tunis, Bizerte is Tunisia's northernmost city — a working fishing port with a casbah, an old port canal and some of the country's best seafood. Just inland, Lake Ichkeul is a UNESCO biosphere reserve and one of North Africa's most important wetlands for migratory birds.
