Awaiting Your Return From Shore
The coastal area near your arrival includes the ruins of ancient Carthage
and the picturesque suburb of Sidi Bou Said, attracting more visitors than
Tunis.
Tunis' French ville nouvelle (new city) centers around the wide, tree-lined Avenue Habib Bourguiba, terminating in the Place de la Victoire and the entrance to the old medina, containing most of the city's points of interest and shops.
A visit to the Bardo Museum is a must. Housed in an old palace, the museum is renowned as the best in the country. Organized in sections, it features an impressive display of artifacts covering the Carthaginian, Roman, Palaeo-Christian, and Arab-Islamic eras. The Roman mosaics comprise one of the finest collections in the world.
Please Note: Tunis is a good 30-minute drive from the port of La Goulette.
Pier Information. The ship docks at La Goulette, about nine miles from the center of Tunis. Taxis are generally available at the pier. Agree on the fare before leaving.
