The best shopping in Carthage isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Antonine Baths and Byrsa Hill are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Punic Ports — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
The ruins of ancient Rome's greatest rival — a Phoenician trading empire destroyed and rebuilt, now scattered across a Tunis suburb overlooking the Mediterranean.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided shopping tour route in Carthage. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Antonine Baths — the largest Roman bath complex in Africa, overlooking the sea, Byrsa Hill — the ancient citadel with the National Museum of Carthage and excavated Punic quarter, Tophet — a sacred Phoenician burial ground where urns of children's remains raise haunting historical questions, plus hidden gems like Punic Ports — the outline of Carthage's circular military harbor and rectangular commercial harbor, still visible from Byrsa Hill and Damous El Karita Basilica — the remains of one of the largest early Christian basilicas in Africa, largely unknown to tourists.
Use this page as a starting point for a Carthage walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Carthage. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Visitors explore Carthage for history and archaeology, but every walking route ends up passing through Antonine Baths and Byrsa Hill and neighborhood markets that tell their own story about the city. Don't overlook Punic Ports — it reflects what the people of Carthage actually buy, make, and value.
The sites are spread across several kilometers — take the TGM light rail from Tunis and walk between stops, or hire a taxi for the day. A site pass covers all locations. Start at Byrsa Hill for orientation.
March through May and September through November. Summer is very hot. The coastal breezes at the Antonine Baths provide some relief.
