Before you travel

Check passport and visa requirements for your nationality with official sources. Keep digital and offline copies of important documents.

Choose a realistic itinerary

For a short stay, explore Tunis, Carthage and Sidi Bou Said. With a week, consider Hammamet or Djerba rather than rushing across the country.

Money and transport

Tunisia uses the Tunisian dinar. Carry some cash and check bank fees. Compare trains, shared taxis and private transfers according to your route.
