If you've always wanted to go to the beautiful blue and white city of Santorini or the gorgeous beaches in the south of France, consider a trip instead to the lovely country of Tunisia. Located on the warm waters of the Mediterranean in North Africa, Tunisia is an often overlooked travel destination as it gets overshadowed by Morocco to the west and Egypt to the east. But we wholeheartedly recommend taking some time to explore this hidden gem, with its ancient ruins, exquisite beaches, and Sahara sand dunes, you won't be disappointed. Even better still, it is significantly cheaper and less crowded than its popular neighbors. Use our one week Tunisia itinerary and we'll make sure you see the best there is!

Three to four days in the capital is plenty of time to see the sights and acquaint yourself with the culture and history of the region and its people. 

Day 1. Bardo Museum and Habib Bourguiba Ave

Make your first stop in the capital city of Tunis be the Bardo Museum. The Bardo Museum is Tunisia’s oldest, biggest and most important museum, housing the largest collection of Roman mosaics in the world. Open daily from 9:00am-5:00pm, entry fee is only 11 TND which is currently less than $4 per person. ​

In Homer's Odyssey, Ulysses details how high winds drove his ships to the shores of an island where the locals fed them lotus flowers, causing them to forget all thoughts of returning home. Legend has it, that this place was the island of Djerba- a small island off the coast of Southern Tunisia. .

We return to the country of Tunisia every summer as we have family to visit there, and are thus experts in every area, restaurant, hotel, and attraction. So feel free to drop us a comment if you have any other questions or need further recommendations for your trip, we'd love to help you out. There are many other beautiful sites to see should you find yourself in Tunisia for over a week, such as the Roman colosseum of Jem, the Star Wars film sites of Tataouine, the music festivals and night life of Hammamet, and the gorgeous port city of Bizerte. More articles spotlighting these places will definitely come in the future! Happy travels!
