Day 1 - Stepping into the Historic Heart of Tunis
Start your journey with a delicious breakfast at the heart of Tunis, probably a plate of traditional Shakshuka to keep you powered throughout the day. Now, let's plunge headfirst into the heart of the city, Medina. This is a UNESCO heritage site.

After getting lunch at a local café, head to the Bardo Museum. Here you'll find an extensive range of Roman mosaics and invaluable artifacts. To end the day, enjoy a delicious traditional dinner at the Dar Belhadj restaurant.
Day 2 - Delving Deeper into Architecture and Arts
After a good night's rest and a hearty breakfast, it's time to explore the Ville Nouvelle. Here, you'll catch a glimpse of the colonial past of Tunis. Notice the Parisian-style buildings, and don't forget to hang out at the vibrant Avenue Habib Bourguiba. Ready for lunch? I bet you're craving Brik. Let's move further into modern art. Visit the Tunis Modern Art Museum and appreciate the city's rich art culture. End your day with a sumptuous local dinner at the Le Café Vert.
Day 3 - Embracing Tunis's Natural Beauty and Nightlife
After two eventful days, it's time to enjoy Tunis from another perspective. How about we look at the city from a higher altitude? Take the trek to Jebel Boukornine, enjoy your packed lunch amidst serene surroundings, and marvel at the panoramic views. In the evening, Sidi Bou Saïd, the artists' village with its bright blue window shutters among pure white buildings, calls you. Have dinner here and enjoy the beautiful sunset. Then, you’re off to soak in Tunis’s vibrant nightlife. Imagine finishing your trip with a dance at the El Ali, one of the city's renowned nightclubs. Sounds fun, right?
