The capital and the greenest part of the country. Tunis has a UNESCO-listed medina and the Bardo Museum's mosaics, Carthage and Sidi Bou Said are just outside the city, Dougga and Bulla Regia are superb Roman sites, Bizerte has a fishing port, and Cap Bon and Hammamet are beach country. Spring and autumn are best.
