Medina of Tunis (Tunis Old CIty), Tunis

The Medina of Tunis is located in the very heart of the city. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a great attraction to tourists. The narrow streets of Medina are full of colorful shops with various goods ranging from leather to plastic, from souvenirs to the works of tiny crafts shops. The shop owners are much less pushy than say in Marrakesh, and normally they start with a price which of course is inflated, but not extremely so. You don't need a guide, as you can manage the tour by yourself; it is simple to get around – one major path, Kasbah Street (Rue de la Kasbah), going across the Medina from the Victory Square (Place de la Victoire) up to the Grand Mosque. If you go off the beaten track, you can find some wonderful treasures (particularly beautiful rugs and ceramics), but you will have to bargain hard!

Tip:
Make sure you get a proper map from the tourist information bureau so you know where to go; otherwise it isn't very clear (even with online apps). Walk the small roads and discover the small laboratories where they make handbags, shoes, perfumes and many other things... Very interesting!
