Meander among the winding passage ways and experience the sights, scents, sounds, and flavours of Tunis - an exciting city to explore on your honeymoon. Tunis experts have come on board to share five essential experiences.
With its bustling street markets, fab cuisine and over 3,000 years of diverse history, Tunis is a world apart, yet only a two-and-a-half hour flight from the UK. Here are five essential experiences to satisfy your cultural taste buds:
1. Bardo Museum
This museum is home to the world’s finest collection of mosaics, which tell the tale of Tunisia’s fallen empires and bygone eras. Housed inside the former royal palace of the Bey (head of state), the Bardo Museum hosts an impressive range of artefacts spanning all five of Tunisia’s major eras – Prehistoric; Carthaginian; Roman; Christian and Islamic.
2. Dar Hotels
Dar el Medina is an enchanting hotel located in the centre of Tunis’ Medina. Bursting with charm and appeal, the property’s 12 rooms wrap its guests in the spirit of Tunis. Nestled 
amongst the souks of the city, Dar el Medina is ideal for guests who want to be at the centre of it all. The hotel offers three tea rooms and cafés and a terrace with spectacular views over the medina (darelmedina.com).
Just 15 minutes outside of the centre of Tunis the opulent boutique of Dar Said, Sidi-Bou-Said offers 24
rooms bursting with traditional Tunisian character. The property, which dates back to the mid 19th century, sits in the heart of picturesque Sidi-Bou-Said and boasts a swimming pool, hammam and charming courtyards and gardens (darsaid.com.tn).
3. Culinary Delights & Café Culture
Tunis has a vibrant café culture. There are modern European-style cafés where some of the finest Turkish coffee and pastries can be enjoyed and traditional cafés which offer an array of teas, Turkish coffee and the ubiquitous sheesha pipe. Tunisian cuisine is infused with Arabic, Andalucian, French, Italian and Turkish influences. Typical dishes are
wholesome but fiery and are served with the national favourite, couscous.
4. A-mazing Medina Markets
With its winding alleyways and bustling street markets, Tunis provides a delight for shoppers seeking exotic and unusual goods. Haggling in Tunis is the norm. Bargain hunters can barter for a whole range of goods from rugs and imitation Roman relics to silverware and spices.
5. Carthage
A must-see for any cultural or historical enthusiast, the ancient city of Carthage lies just 15 minutes drive from the centre of Tunis. Carthage tells the tale of many a fallen empire.
And more...One thing that should not be missed whilst in Tunis is a trip to one of the city’s Hammams (public bath houses). A relaxing soak and steam at the end of a long day of sightseeing is one of the best ways to unwind. There are numerous hammams located throughout the old town and many beyond.
