Tunis & Carthage
Tunis brings together a living North African medina and a modern capital, while nearby Carthage, Sidi Bou Said and the Gulf of Tunis add ancient Mediterranean history, coastal viewpoints and distinctive blue-and-white streets.

Bon Voyage treats a destination as a connected world: history, neighborhoods, food, nearby escapes and the port or route that brought you here all belong to the same journey.
Carthage turned the Gulf of Tunis into the center of a Mediterranean trading empire.
UNESCO describes Carthage as an extensive archaeological site founded by the Phoenicians on a hill overlooking the Gulf of Tunis. It became the metropolis of Punic civilization in Africa and later the capital of the Roman province of Africa, preserving evidence of two very different eras in one landscape. Reading those remains alongside the medina and the modern capital gives a Tunis journey unusual historical range.
