How much does a trip to Tunisia cost

Beyond the room, prices are moderate. A meal in a local restaurant is inexpensive, and the medina markets tempt with handicrafts. The currency is the Tunisian dinar, which cannot be taken out of the country, so settle your cash before leaving. Cards are taken by hotels and larger shops, while cash is handy in the medina and with taxi drivers. ATMs are in the cities and resorts.

When is the best time to visit Tunisia

The best time is spring from March to June and early autumn in September and October, when it is warm but not scorching. Summer can be very hot, especially in the south, and it is also the beach price peak. Winter is cooler and cheaper, good for sightseeing. Room prices are lowest in January and highest in August.

Getting to and around Tunisia

The main airport is Tunis-Carthage (TUN), with low-cost charter flights served by Enfidha-Hammamet, Monastir and Djerba. With Tunisair and budget carriers you can fly from many European cities. Ferries run from Italy, France and Malta. Around the country there are SNCFT trains, buses and fixed-price shared taxis called louage. Tunis has a metro and a light rail, and in the resorts you get around by taxi.
