Hi There,

Since you have been before in Tunis, i guess you know that it's a big city and that's normal, because it's the capitol, there are quite a lot of nice places to see in Tunis, i would recommend you to go the Medina ( The Souks ) you can start it from Beb Bhar ... it's a crowded place but it's nice to see ... Also if you have time it's nice to go to Carthage, to visit the site of Carthage, it's not that far from Tunis, you can use the TGM ( It's a kind of Tram, it goes from Tunis to the Goulette, and Marssa) also it's nice to go to Sidi Bou Said, it's also nice to go to Raf Raf, ...

In Tunis itself, it's good to go to the Lac, and to the Carfour for shopping ... also to Bardo, there's there a very nice musuem to visit ...

There are more places to visit in Tunis ... but i think it;s good to see the places i mentioned ..

Cheers
Makrem

If you have a free night in nice weather head up to Sidi Bou said walk around as the sun goes down.

Walk up the main street and pass the cafe on the left and walk up and round. On the left you will then see a resturant (which looks nice) opposite there is a cafe which is situated on a large terrace cut into the hill from here you can see the marina and is a lovely bustling place to see the sun go down and have a chat to folks.
