Sousse's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the murals near Medina of Sousse and Ribat of Sousse, in the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that most visitors pass without noticing. Walking is the only way to find them. Look for Catacombs of Sousse — a creative corner that guidebooks consistently overlook.
A Tunisian coastal city with a UNESCO-listed medina, a 9th-century ribat fortress, and a rich history stretching from Phoenician times to the present.

Sousse is known for history and architecture, but creativity is woven into every corner. Street art appears visible around Medina of Sousse and Ribat of Sousse, music drifts from doorways in neighborhoods off the main tourist path. Lesser-known creative pockets like Catacombs of Sousse reward those who walk slowly enough to notice.
The medina is compact but hilly. Enter through Bab el Bhar and walk uphill to the Kasbah for the best views. The Ribat is near the main entrance and is worth climbing for the panorama.
March through May and September through November. Summers are hot. The medina is less crowded in the morning. Ramadan dates shift yearly and affect restaurant hours.
