Tunisia's cultural experiences are anchored in some of the Mediterranean's most layered heritage. Guided tours of the Bardo Museum — home to the world's largest collection of Roman mosaics — make a strong opening. Medina walking tours through Tunis's souk alleys, where perfumers, coppersmiths, and textile traders still occupy their historic guild quarters, are best done with a local guide who knows the rhythm of the place. Day trips to the ancient site of Dougga, cooking classes focused on Tunisian spice traditions, and calligraphy workshops in restored medina houses round out a cultural calendar that goes well beyond the beach. Tours by local guides can unlock the backstory that signage never provides.
