Tunis Sightseeing
Sightseeing Overview
An inexpensive taxi ride takes you to the Bardo Museum in the suburbs, with the most beautiful collection of Roman mosaics in Africa. The small train leaving from Tunis Maritime stops at Carthage, a visit which can take up most of the day, the picturesque village of Sidi Bou Said best visited in the late afternoon or evening, and the white sand beaches at la Marsa.

This is the city's main tourist office. It is located in the new town near the train station Tunis Maritime. The staff is helpful but there are few useful handouts, except for a free city map, and an excellent map of the medina with a suggested walking tour and Carthage. They offer information on public transport and travel in the rest of the country.
There is another tourist office with slightly more brochures and handouts, at the railway station (place de Barcelone).
