Best Times to Book a Cheap Flight to Tunis
Tunis plays host to festivals throughout the year which can be a great experience for tourists to discover Tunisia’s culture. An example of this is the Festival of the Medina, which offers a rich and diverse programme, including classical Arabic music, short films by Arab and French film-makers and entertainers, such as jugglers. This festival usually takes place during the period of Ramadan (around September), in the Tunis Municipal Theatre, as well as other outdoor venues, for instance, the gardens of the Kheireddine Palace. If you do take a flight during Ramadan, it is worth taking note that some services, shops and restaurants may be shut during the day. Before booking flights to Tunis, it’s worth checking when Ramadan falls as it is different every year.
Destination overview
Find a cheap flight to Tunis, Tunisia’s capital, Tunis is an eclectic city characterised by a rich mixture of architectural brilliance and authentic charm. Discover a maze of alleyways and winding lanes when you visit the city’s medina, the history of which dates back to the 9th century. Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, the medina is home to innumerable sites of interest including madrasas, fountains, palaces and mosques, making it the ideal spot for meandering. For those interested in seeing signs of Tunis’ more recent past, the Ville Nouvelle (New Town) is testament to the French influence of yesteryear. Here one can find (or rather cannot miss) the impressive Avenue Habib Bourguiba – often dubbed ‘The Tunisian Champs-Élysées’. At 60m wide it is difficult to overlook this magnificent thoroughfare; a largely pedestrianised boulevard lined with trees, shops and cafes. Besides countless opportunities for picking up some traditional spices or finding unique gifts, the city boasts lovely recreational spaces to enjoy the summer afternoons in peace. Belvedere Park is the largest park, covering over 100 hectares. Complete with a zoo and art gallery, Belvedere Park is a favourite with families looking to enjoy the serenity of the endless green space; lovingly dubbed ‘The Lungs of Tunis’. Cool off in the midday heat by choosing a nice shaded spot in the park that overlooks Lake Tunis. For those raring to delve into the rich culture of the city, why not take yourselves off to one of the several museums. The Bardo National Museum is a must for fans of Roman mosaics since here you can come close to one of the greatest collections in the world.
Tunis climate
Tunis is characterised by a hot-summer Mediterranean climate, with a hot, dry season and a cool, rainy season. The hottest months are June to September, where temperatures can reach the early 30s and have even been known to soar to the mid-40s. If you’re not a fan of the intense heat then this is probably not the best time to book flights to Tunis. Opt instead for April to May or mid-September to October, when the weather is more comfortable and pleasant. During the month of May, Labour Day is celebrated. This is a chance for Tunisians to relax and meet up with family and friends. As this is a public holiday, there may be reduced services for tourists.Winter is the wettest time of the year, however, the sun can be present on some days. If you’re happy to dodge some rain and are looking for cheap flights to Tunis and better hotel rates then this could be a good time to visit.
Getting around Tunis
Tunis is typically a walking city. With twisting labyrinths of narrow lanes and sprawling boulevards perfect for window shopping, the best way to go about exploring this fascinating city is on foot. Furthermore, you may even find that setting off on foot gives you more freedom than a car could offer – enabling you to meander through different alleyways and parks all day to your heart’s content.
Getting downtown
Around 7 miles (4 km) from the city centre, Tunis-Carthage International Airport (TUN) offers travellers various options for completing their onward travel in comfort after their flight to Tunis has arrived. As at every airport there will be a fleet of taxis waiting outside, and if you’re travelling with heavy baggage this will probably be your most convenient way of reaching your onward destination. However, with a number of different bus companies offering regular and cost-effective transport to the city centre it may well be worth considering taking a bus. Running every 15 minutes, you’re sure to be able to hop on a bus relatively quickly and cheaply to avoid overpriced taxi fares.
