In Tunis one can truly apply the term “living history.” With Islamic, Roman and Phoenician roots, the vibrant and exotic capital of Tunisia bears the vestiges of trade and wealth, wars and conquests, placing more than 3,000 years of ancient civilization at your fingertips. The modern-day city is at once timeless and contemporary, a thriving business hub and a welcoming seaside oasis blessed with a balmy Mediterranean climate. Here you can also explore mosques, museums and artists’ enclaves, as well as enjoy diverse culinary delights.

GETTING THERE & AROUND
Visitors arrive at Tunis Carthage International Airport, about 4 miles from city center. Many flights to Tunisia are operated by national carrier Tunis Air, offering regular flights from many European cities. Air France also flies to Tunis from Paris. The best way to transit to the city is by taxi, although a local public bus also runs into the city. Yellow metered taxis are available at the taxi rank outside the terminal. Avoid unregistered taxis, as they often overcharge. The journey to the city takes about 20 minutes. It’s easy to get around Tunis by taxi as well as via an electric train service and tram network.
