The Tunis City Guides cover what every visitor wonders about: where Tunisians eat lablabi for breakfast, how to reach Carthage by train instead of on a costly tour, which souks are easy to walk on your own and where the evening goes after mint tea. Every guide is a short, opinionated list that gives the reason to go, the area and a practical tip for each place, and it opens in your browser right after you pay.

Three places from the guides
Dar El Jeld
Rue Dar el Jeld, Medina
A courtyard house in the old town and the classic choice for a special evening: musicians play while couscous, lamb tajine and brik reach the table. Leave room for the dessert trolley. From the food guide.
Souk El Attarine
Medina centre
Perfume oils, incense and spices scent this lane beside the Zitouna Mosque, between stalls of silver and brass. It is the simplest souk to explore alone, and bargaining is part of the deal. From the things to do guide.
Rafraf Beach
Raf Raf, about 1 hour 15 by louage or car from Tunis
A wide, clean beach with clear water and strong waves, much loved by Tunisians in summer. Out of season you will have it nearly to yourself, which makes it good for a run. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Tunis
Day one: kafteji for breakfast, the souks and the Zitouna Mosque in the morning, lunch in a medina courtyard and a sunset drink on a downtown rooftop. Day two: the TGM to Carthage for the Baths of Antoninus and the Roman villas, then on to Sidi Bou Saïd for a doughnut and the harbour, ending with dinner in La Marsa. For a rainy or slow day, give the Bardo mosaics two hours, eat under the covered courtyard of Fondouk El Attarine and spend the evening at a Belvedere wine bar.
