Things to Do in Tunis

Tunis's medina is a UNESCO World Heritage site built around the Ez-Zitouna Mosque, its courtyard open to visitors even though the prayer hall is not; the souks fan out from there, sorted by trade since the 13th century — perfume near the mosque, leather and copper further out. The Bardo Museum holds one of the world's largest collections of Roman mosaics, many lifted whole from villas across the country. Beyond sightseeing, a hammam session or a hands-on cooking class rounds out a visit. Below are the top-rated tours covering the medina, the Bardo and Tunis's food and wellness scene.
