Even the most urban corners of Medina of Tunis hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Zitouna Mosque and Souks offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Tourbet el Bey for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
One of the best-preserved medieval Arab cities in the world, a UNESCO-listed maze of souks, mosques, and palaces spanning 1,300 years of history.

Medina of Tunis is known for history and architecture, but between the busy streets, spaces like Zitouna Mosque and Souks provide a different kind of experience — calmer, greener, and more grounded than a typical sightseeing route. Quieter spots like Tourbet el Bey provide the kind of rest that the main attractions cannot.
Enter from Bab el Bahr and walk straight toward the Zitouna Mosque — the souks branch off from this central axis. Bargaining is expected. Keep small change for mosque donations.
March through May and September through November. Summer is very hot. Ramadan changes the rhythm of the medina — evenings become lively after iftar.
