Tunisia is one of the most coveted destinations for French people who want to go on holiday abroad at a very reasonable price, after Spain.
I made a one-week trip to Morocco last year which I really liked, and I'm starting to learn about Tunisia (the main visits to do on a trip, culture, gastronomy, The activities to be done on the spot ...).
Whether you are venturing out with your backpack or booking a stay in a hotel club in Djerba or Hammamet, you can discover beautiful historical sights, towns and landscapes in this country.
Here are 7 exceptional tourist sites to visit in Tunisia:
1 – Carthage
It is a very interesting archaeological site where it is possible to visit the thermal baths of Antonin, the theater and the amphitheater. Visitors interested in sculpture and mosaics can enrich their culture by visiting the National Museum.
2 – Tunis
The capital of Tunisia, Tunis, deserves to be visited for its beautiful architecture. The Medina is one of the main tourist attractions of Tunis where it is possible to visit the souk, the stalls or in small restaurants. Bourguiba Avenue is the main driveway. A visit to the Al-Zaytuna mosque and the Bardo Museum is essential (the latter has a very fine collection of Roman mosaics).
