Curious about which places are the best to visit in Tunisia? Look no further than our list! We merge convenience, money, wow-factor, the sneaky author’s preference, and diversity to come to you with our tier list.

1. Sidi Bou Said, convenience-wise, certainly one of the best places to visit in Tunisia.

Did this get 1st place just because it’s accessible? Yes, absolutely. Perched on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean, Sidi Bou Said is Tunisia’s most photogenic town, and it knows it. With its signature white walls and sky-blue doors, it feels like a North African Santorini but with fewer tourists and way more charm. It’s just a 30-minute drive (about 20 km) from Tunis-Carthage Airport, and you can easily get there by taxi or local train for less than $1. Wander through cobbled streets, sip mint tea at Café des Délices, and just exist in a place made for slow travel and soft aesthetics. Don’t forget your sunglasses when you go, you’ll need pics. You can also lie and said you went to Greece as well, bomb bonus!

here are the best places out there

2. Djerba Island

I know you don’t want to hear “buy a flight” buuut, soft beaches, white-washed villages, and a surprising mix of Jewish, Muslim, and Berber cultures make Djerba one of Tunisia’s most unique stops, you just have to go. From Tunis, the fastest route is a 1-hour flight to Djerba-Zarzis Airport at around $40–$70 (hey, at least it’s not THAT draining). If you’re road-tripping, it’s a 7–8 hour drive plus a short ferry(ferries are always cool but really, just fly). Once there, taxis are cheap (under $5 for most rides), and budget stays start at $20/night. Be sure to explore the artistic Djerbahood district, and grab seafood by the port (at legit-looking places).

3. Tozeur & Chebika Oasis

Hidden among rocky cliffs and desert sands are the oases of Tozeur and Chebika — lush, otherworldly places that feel like fantasy movie sets. The fastest way there is by flying from Tunis to Tozeur about 1 hour; flights can cost around $50, sorry pals, or you can brace for a 7–8 hour drive (450+ km). Once there, a taxi or tour guide can take you to Chebika, about 30 minutes away. Entry to most oases is free, though 4×4 canyon tours can cost $20–$40. Don’t forget water and a camera and preparing your soul.

4. El Jem Amphitheatre

You don’t have to go to Rome to stand inside a colossal Roman arena. El Jem is home to one of the world’s best-preserved colosseums, and it’s huge, like big-big. It’s about a 2.5 to 3-hour drive from Tunis, about 200 km, which is 124 freedom units, and you can either rent a car or take a train from Tunis for under $10. Entry to the amphitheatre is around $3, and you’re free to roam the tunnels, climb the steps, and feel the centuries-old weight of gladiator history. It’s one of Tunisia’s biggest historical sites.

5. Hammamet

If your dream trip is less “backpacking adventure” and more “cocktail by the pool,” Hammamet is the go-to spot in Tunisia. It’s just a 1-hour drive from Tunis-Carthage Airport (around 70 km), and you can get there easily by private transfer, rental car, or even train for under $3. The town is famous for its beachfront resorts, spa hotels, and relaxed atmosphere — think all-inclusive deals starting at $40–$60 per night in the off-season. You can also wander its charming medina, take a dip in turquoise waters, or book a jet ski or boat tour along the coast. It’s clean, safe, tourist-friendly, and just the right mix of local charm and modern comfort.

6. Kairouan

This is for the Muslim people and the religious-culture enthusiasts. Kairouan, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of the holiest cities in Islam and brimming with culture, mosaics, and maze-like souks. It’s only about 2.5 hours from Tunis (150 km) by car or louage (shared minivan), and costs $5–$8. The Great Mosque has a small entry fee ($2–$3), and the medina’s peaceful vibe is free to enjoy. It’s a great day trip if you’re based in Tunis, and way less touristy than other big spots — ideal for quiet wandering and sipping fresh juice in the shade.

7. The Sahara Desert (Douz or Ksar Ghilane)

Look, do I actually think this is the place to go to for a Saharan experience? Sure, if you have no other options, but if you have a trip to another African country planned, you might get your desert experience at a less 7-hour drive price. But to feel the full power of Tunisia’s wild side, head into the Sahara — either through Douz or the more remote Ksar Ghilane. From Tunis, it’s a long journey: about 7–8 hours by car or bus (500–550 km), so flying into Tozeur might be faster. Budget around $20–$30 for bus travel, or more if you’re doing a guided 4×4 tour. Once you arrive, camel rides are $10–$15/hour, and overnight desert camps usually start at $30/night. Golden dunes, Berber tents, and skies full of stars — it’s worth every bumpy mile.

Definitely outer space from Tunisian Sahara

What is the best place for women to travel to in Europe, you ask? Well, compared to other places, anywhere in the EU is considered very safe, but for extra peace of mind, or maybe for a beginner traveler, you might want to stick around and read which are the safest places for you.

Best place to travel as a woman in Europe

Finland – Heaven IS a Place on Earth Without You (Introvert’s Paradise)

Everything here runs smoother than bare legs after shaving. Trams glide through Helsinki like clockwork, and even strangers respect your bubble (no joke, that’s Nordic culture for ya, an introvert’s heaven, that’s for sure). The forests, saunas, and islands are IT for recharging without feeling like a target. If you want quiet peace with zero stress, Finland delivers.
Safety fact: Finland ranks 1st in Europe for women feeling safe walking alone at night.

2 Nordic countries make the list, so if you’re interested, read our article about which Nordic country is actually the best to visit, especially as a woman in Europe.

Denmark – The Good, The Cold and The Sexy Scandinavia

Yes, I’ll cut it out with the Nordic countries, otherwise I’d just make a list full of them, because to be very clear, wherever in the north you are, girl, you are safe. Copenhagen feels more like a lifestyle magazine than a city. Solo biking is the norm, street harassment is nearly non-existent, and locals mind their own business in the most respectful way. Public transport is pristine and English is widely spoken. Safety fact: Denmark ranks among the safest EU countries based on violent crime and personal safety perception.

Estonia – The Forgotten North East

If you like medieval cities with modern Wi-Fi, Estonia’s your place. Tallinn, the capital, is straight out of a fairy tale but with better coffee, allegedly, and free public internet almost everywhere, if you ask kindly and perhaps use a VPN for peace of mind. Solo exploring here feels calm, digital-friendly, and free from street-level tension. Locals aren’t overly chatty, but they’re respectful, and the whole country runs like a low-key college startup in a forest. Safety fact: Citizens and travelers report one of the lowest crime rates on the entire continent, behind places like the Isle of Man and Andorra.

Monaco – Come On, What Did You Expect

Technically, it’s not in the EU, but it borders France and feels like it runs on security cameras and wealth. Everything is clean, walkable, and under watch—seriously, crime here is almost a statistical myth. You’ll see more luxury cars than sketchy people, unless rich trust fund citizens are sketchy to you. Solo travelers can wander the harbor, the old town, or the casino area without a second thought, but I do recommend that second thought when thinking of going to gamble in the casinos rather than visit them. Safety fact: Really high police to regular resident ratio, and also, gambling in the casinos is illegal for the Monegasque people, so you won’t see angry locals, kudos Monaco.

Slovenia – Balkan Introduction Via Western Style

Eastern Europe is my home, the Balkans are a special place for me and Slovenia is quite the bridge between the traditionally catholic-european west that rings with a bit of Balkan charm. If you’ve never visited the East, this might get you a taste of it without spending the dime to travel there just yet, or at least brief you on what’s further ahead. Now when it comes to safety, it’s not far from number one on paper, and in reality, it is actually one of the calmest, kindest countries you’ll land in. Ljubljana(the capital, yes that actually matters in Europe where rural areas are a real thing) is tidy and walkable, Lake Bled looks like a postcard, and even rural towns feel safe for solo explorers. Everything is just… chill. Safety fact: Slovenia has one of the lowest theft and violent crime rates in the EU

1. Power Bank for Travel

Your phone will be your navigator, DJ, camera, and lifeline. Between Google Maps, Spotify battles, and late-night “Where are you?” texts, your battery won’t make it past lunch. If you don’t have a trusty one or need a reason to invest, let me just tell you that a slim, fast one is where it’s at for this type of trip, because babes, you need that thing to fit into your palm, small bag and fix you quick.

2. Multi-Use Sarong or Scarf as Clothing

Listen, they’re much better than you think. It’s a beach towel, impromptu skirt, sun shield, nightclub wrap, nap blanket, and maybe even a curtain when your roomie forgets modesty, or has lost the lucidity for it. You can also seem like the smart, put-together friend when those Summer nights become deceivingly cold and, hey, you’ve got something to drape over yourself.

3. Earplugs

Yeah, yeah, you’ve heard it a million times, but you won’t know the difference in quality of life it makes until you try it. Don’t forget that Ibiza, out of all place,s is the one spot besides your college dorm where you need those bad boys just to get a wink of sleep. Invest in your sleep, people.

4. SPF 50 Sunscreen

The Ibiza sun doesn’t negotiate. Whether you’re at the beach, wandering the old town, or day-clubbing at Ushuaïa, you’ll need high SPF, and lots of it. Bonus if it’s sweatproof and non-greasy so you don’t look like a freshly glazed donut. Trust a girl who lives by her D3 deficiency.

5. After-Sun Lotion or Aloe Gel

Even with SPF, something’s getting burned, whether it’s you or your friend. Aloe gel feels like heaven, smells like beach nostalgia, and might just keep you from peeling like a lizard in front of your travel crush. If no one is burned, it still feels great after a post-tan shower. Don’t forget to keep it in the mini fridge in your room for a chilly boost.

6. Statement Swimsuit That Also Functions as a Top

If what has to go down goes down, if your lightly packed bag leaves you a little disappointed in regards to outfit choices, use your trust and fashionable swimsuit top that you picked specifically for this. Preferably one you can wear in your beach-to-bar transition. If it’s got cutouts, metallics, or mesh? Even better. It’s Ibiza—you’re not here to wear beige.

7. Quality Sunglasses for Travel

Ibiza is bright, all types of, at that, sun-bright, sequin-bright, neon-bright. You’ll want a pair of sunglasses that can handle UV rays, pool splashes, and the occasional mid-party fall off your head. Bonus points if they double as a hangover shield for your not-yet, but soon-to-be, embarrassed soul.

8. A Light, Layer-Friendly Jacket That’s Good for Summer Nights

After the sun dips, you’re getting like 2 more hours of warm weather, that’s it. You’ll want something easy to throw over your outfit that doesn’t kill your whole vibe. Think sheer kimono or any breezy cover-up, cropped denim jacket, or an oversized linen shirt you can “accidentally” steal from a friend.

9. A Backup Debit Card or Emergency Cash

Some places in Ibiza still don’t take card, and the ATMs are either empty or charge you enough to fund the DJ’s afterparty. Stash some emergency euros somewhere safe because no one wants to beg a bouncer with Apple Pay that won’t load. I DO NOT CONDONE BRIBERY! I only help travelers in need.
