With only three hours flight from Europe,you have almost no excuses to make a getaway for a few days to Tunisia.

To make the most of what the city of Tunis got for you, we asked our Tunisian community for tips & recommendations of places that Tunisian people prefer to make you live this stay as a local!

Regarding accommodation, 3 places we recommended : Dar Souad and Dar Ennasim in Marsa, and Dar El Jeld located in the medina.

These three places have a refined decoration with a special mention to Dar El Jeld and Dar Souad where there is a unique freshness.
