Day 1: the essentials
Start with the key stops. Day one covers the main sights in an order that doesn't waste steps.
Espace vert ECO-quartier
Start outdoors at Espace vert ECO-quartier, one of Tunis's green spaces. A gentle first stop makes the rest of the day easier to navigate.
Galerie Hédi Turki
Plan the middle of the day around Galerie Hédi Turki. It's also a practical stop: shade, seating, and a café nearby when you need a rest.
Day 2: go deeper
Slow down on day two. Revisit a favorite, then see what you missed the first time around.
2e Dar Romdane Bey
Don't skip 2e Dar Romdane Bey. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
Casa del Criptoportico
Don't skip Casa del Criptoportico. It's the kind of local landmark that gives a town its character, and it fits neatly between lunch and dinner.
