Tunis is the capital and largest city of Tunisia. Built on a hill slope, this city offers travellers a glimpse of different empires and civilisations. Travellers can wander through the narrow streets and lanes of the historic city of Medina, a UNESCO Heritage site since 1979. Medina hosts an incredible number of spectacular monuments and landmarks, including many palaces, mosques and museums.
On the eastern side of the lake of Tunis lie the magnificent ruins of the ancient Phoenician city of Carthage. Visiting this extraordinary city is a unique journey back in time. Visitors can explore various Phoenician sites and admire the impressive remains of various Roman villas and baths. This imposing city is also home to the modern Presidential Palace.
The picturesque cliff top village of Sidi Bou Said is full of quaint cobbled streets and is definitely worth a visit.
