Frequently asked questions
About Tunis
Tunis is the capital city of Tunisia, located in North Africa. The official currency used in Tunis is the Tunisian Dinar. The city is known for its rich history, with a mix of Arab, French, and Italian influences evident in its architecture and culture. Visitors can explore the ancient ruins of Carthage, wander through the bustling markets of the Medina, and relax on the sandy beaches along the Mediterranean coast.
When to visit
The best time to visit Tunis is during the spring months of March to May or the fall months of September to November when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summers can be hot with temperatures reaching over 40°C, while winters are mild but can be rainy.
Getting around
Getting around Tunis is easy with a well-developed public transportation system that includes buses, metro, and taxis. Visitors can also opt to rent a car to explore the city and its surrounding areas. Walking is a great way to explore the narrow streets of the Medina and the historic sites in the city center.
Traveller tips
When visiting Tunis, be sure to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Bargaining is common in the markets, so don't be afraid to negotiate prices. Try local dishes like couscous, brik, and mint tea for an authentic taste of Tunisian cuisine. Be cautious of pickpockets in crowded areas and always keep an eye on your belongings. Learn a few basic Arabic phrases to help you communicate with locals and show respect for their culture.
