Description

Discover the culture of Tunisia with a half-day trip from Hammamet to Tunis. Explore the UNESCO-listed medina and the Bardo Museum for a journey through history, art, and tradition
Your cultural journey kicks off right in the heart of Tunis's old medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most fascinating historical centers in North Africa. Go back in time by getting lost in a maze of narrow streets, lively souks, and beautifully preserved architecture. Discover centuries-old mosques, ornate gates, and hidden courtyards that tell the city's rich history. The medina's layout still shows the influence of Roman urban planning, beautifully blended with Islamic and Ottoman art – a real testament to Tunisia's rich history.

As you wander through the colorful markets, meet local artisans, explore traditional shops, and soak up the colors, scents, and sounds that bring the medina to life. Take a moment to browse for authentic handicrafts or enjoy a mint tea in a charming café before continuing your cultural adventure.

Then, head to the Bardo Museum, one of the most prestigious museums in Africa and the Mediterranean region. Once a royal palace, it now houses an exceptional collection of Roman mosaics, statues, and ancient treasures illustrating Tunisia's role as a crossroads of civilizations. Check out the detailed mosaics depicting everyday life, mythology, and the Roman Empire—a living testament to the artistic genius of the Romans and their lasting influence on Tunisian culture.

Your guide will bring the exhibits to life by sharing fascinating stories linking ancient Carthage, Roman Tunisia, and modern Tunisia. After this inspiring visit, relax on the comfortable return trip to Hammamet, taking with you the spirit of Tunis, where history, art and culture blend harmoniously.
