Tips for the best outings during this surprising city trip

In this blog, we share our tips for the best outings during a surprising city trip to Tunis with children.
Our first trip with Sofia was to Tunis (the capital of Tunisia) when she was 2 months old, and it was quite an adventure! We chose Tunisia mainly for the weather and the short flight. It was warm, and after a cold period, we were in need of some nice weather. In the end, the country completely surprised us. With its rich history and vibrant souks, you’ll never get bored.

One of the best tips for a vacation to Tunis with children is to rent a car. It’s a life saver, and not just for getting from A to B. Our rental car also served as a place to feed and change Sofia.

During our trip to Tunis, we discovered some beautiful and historic places that will enchant both young and old. One of the highlights of our journey was a visit to the Roman ruins in Carthage, which are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This site was once the capital of an ancient empire and later an important part of the Roman Empire. Now, visitors can admire the impressive ruins here, and for history enthusiasts, there is even a special museum dedicated to Carthage nearby.

After exploring the historical treasures of Carthage, we made our way to the picturesque Sidi Bou Said, a Mediterranean town famous for its enchanting blue-and-white houses.

We admired the beautiful mosques and explored the lively souqs, where we occasionally had to test our skills with a stroller. But let’s be honest, it was an adventure we were more than happy to take on!
