Tunis Walking Tour
Tunis, Tunisia
Why Walk Tunis
Tunisia's capital is one of the most historically rich cities in Africa. The Medina of Tunis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been continuously inhabited since the 7th century, its covered souks organized by trade — perfumers, booksellers, tailors, and jewelers each have their own quarter. The Ville Nouvelle, built during the French Protectorate, features grand Art Nouveau and Art Deco buildings along Avenue Habib Bourguiba, the city's Champs-Elysees. The Bardo Museum, housed in a former palace, holds the world's largest collection of Roman mosaics. A short train ride reaches the ancient ruins of Carthage and the clifftop village of Sidi Bou Said, with its iconic blue-and-white architecture.
