Tunis - culture, history and a feast for the senses
The Swiss artist Paul Klee once described Tunis as the most colourful city he had ever seen. Come and see for yourself: the northernmost metropolis on the African continent is regarded as the cultural jewel of the Maghreb and delights visitors with its culinary delights, shopping opportunities and its blend of history and modernity. These interlock like cogwheels. No place demonstrates this better than the Place de la Victoire with the old city gate Bab el Bhar, which separates the Ville Nouvelle from the Medina.
Tunis is also the perfect starting point for discovering popular sights in the surrounding area: These include the Bardo Museum, known for its collection of Roman mosaics, or the ruins of Carthage; now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Temperatures are mild to warm all year round, making a city trip to Tunis ideal for combining with a beach holiday.
