Othna Ruins, Bardo Museum & Sidi Bou Said Day Trip

Explore the ancient Roman ruins and aqueducts of Othna and Bardo National Museum, and unwind amidst the famous blue-and-white streets of Sidi Bou Said overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
Embark on a captivating full-day journey through millennia of history, world-renowned artistry, and breathtaking coastal beauty. Designed for travelers who want to experience the soul of Tunisia, this comprehensive excursion takes you from ancient Roman monuments and imperial palaces to one of the most picturesque clifftop villages in the Mediterranean.
Your day begins with a comfortable pickup from your accommodation in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle. As you head south of Tunis, you will arrive at the magnificent archaeological site of Othna (ancient Uthina). Unlike the crowded ruins elsewhere, Othna offers a tranquil and immersive look into ancient Roman civilization. Walk among the impressive arches of the ancient aqueduct, explore the sprawling thermal baths, and step into the remarkable amphitheater—partially carved directly into the hill—which once seated up to 16,000 spectators. Wander down into the subterranean vaults beneath the arena to experience how gladiators and wild animals were prepared for spectacle.
Next, travel to the heart of Tunis to visit the world-famous Bardo National Museum, housed inside a grand 19th-century Beylical palace. Recognized as one of the most important museums in Africa, the Bardo holds the largest and most complete collection of Roman mosaics in the world. As you walk through its high-ceilinged halls, you will admire masterworks created over two thousand years ago, illustrating Greek mythology, legendary sea gods, gladiatorial fights, and intimate scenes of daily Roman life. Your guide will highlight key treasures, including the iconic depiction of the poet Virgil writing the Aeneid.
After a relaxing pause for lunch to savor local Tunisian flavors, your journey continues to the enchanting cliffside village of Sidi Bou Said. Perched high above the Gulf of Tunis, this bohemian haven is celebrated for its distinctive Andalusian architecture, striking cobalt-blue doors, whitewashed walls, and vibrant bougainvillea flowers. Enjoy free time to wander through the cobbled alleys, browse artisan boutiques, and discover handcrafted leather goods, ceramics, and perfumes.
Take a seat at a traditional cliffside establishment like the famous Café des Délices or Café des Nattes, where you can sip authentic mint tea served with pine nuts while soaking in panoramic views of the turquoise sea below.
Whether you are a passionate history lover, a photography enthusiast, or a culture seeker, this tour blends fascinating archaeology, world-class museum artifacts, and relaxing coastal leisure into one seamless, unforgettable day in Tunisia.
