We visited the medina in Tunis as part of a Day trip from our hotel. We got there sort of early and were taken around by our guide. He advised us which areas not to go and left us to explore at our leisure. The streets are cobbled and can get slippery when wet, so watch your step! Be prepared... More

I loved walking around and being lost in the medina, a highlight to the 5 senses full of colour, sound, and scents. It is well worth walking through to the back to the quieter areas to see Tunisian life rather than just tourist shops (if you go into these shops you MUST negotiate prices!). We were followed a number of... More

Don't let them show you into shops, take pictures (unless you're prepared to pay a large tip) We had someone get very abusive when our tip was too low

We took the train from Hammamet to Tunis which was cheap and convenient. I would advise covering up on public transport. Most Tunisians are using it to get about their normal business. It's busy and if you don't want to attract unwanted attention cover up from your wrists to your ankles. I didn't have any problems but the only other... More

This is a sure fire must do. Lots of colors and scents, amazing array of goods, wonderfully interesting people, and bargains to be had if you're seeking them. Remember to be polite and respect the fact that shop owners and salesmen move their goods for a living. It's food, clothing, life, etc for them. Be aware of your surroundings and... More

If on a cruise make this the first stop. Our guide took us to the location where the Arab Spring began and we walked to the Medina. We were the first Western tourists there and took many shopkeepers by surprise. If you do not want to shop then not a must see. Earlier there the better chance of haggling prices.... More

Interesting for one visit, but similar to the souqs in other Arabic countries. Rather a dangerous place when the sun goes down...
