Situated on a large Mediterranean Sea Gulf, known also as the Gulf of Tunis, this city extends along the coastal plains surrounded by hills... The city of Tunis is also home to cosmopolitan cafés and has a myriad archeological vestiges. Tunis also has the world’s finest collection of Roman mosaics. Take a walking tour of the ancient buildings and mosques or visit the Théâtre municipal de Tunis to witness the opera, ballet or other productions. Explore and learn the history of the sub-urban city of Carthage, which is most accessible from Tunis or wander through Tunis' largest park – Belvedere Park – which houses the Museum of Modern Art and the municipal zoo overlooking Lake Tunis. For the shopaholics, street bazaars in Tunis have a wide range of products to choose from.Once in Tunis, do visit the medina, which is one of the major attractions. This is one of the largest in the entire country and has also been recognized as World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The tangled streets of the medina are crammed with hawkers selling trinkets and baubles. What's more, one could have a spectacular panoramic view of the minarets and mosques of old Tunis from the rooftop terraces here. Visit the Musee du Patrimoine Traditionnel which is also known as Dar Ben Abdallah, an 18th century palace, which is now a folk museum displaying stucco ornament, textiles, fabrics, costumes and furniture. The Acropolium cathedral on the Byrsa hill is another site which is frequented by visitors all the year round. The architecture of the cathedral is a mix of Orient and the Occident.
A short walk from the cathedral is the Carthage Room, which is a magnificent structure that highlights beautifully decorated ceilings in an Italian style. One can also enjoy the view from the hill of ancient Carthage and one of the most stunning bays in the Mediterranean.
Lest all the sightseeing should tire you, unwind yourself at Café Sidi Chebaane as you sip on some fine Turkish coffee and chicha pipe. Forget that diet as you indulge in the sumptuous cuisine offered by the traditional restaurants in the souks.
With fascinating archaeological sights, a buzzing nightlife and a rich history to be explored, this comfortably-sized city has much to offer to its visitors; no wonder then, Tunis is fast gaining a reputation of being an ideal year-round destination.
