La Marsa

Must-see attractions include the Marsa Plage (beach), the Sidi Bou Said village (nearby), the Carthage ruins, and the various historical palaces and villas that dot the city. Exploring the local medina is also highly recommended for a taste of authentic Tunisian culture.

The best time to visit La Marsa is during the spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) months. The weather is pleasant, with warm temperatures and less intense sunshine than the summer months. These seasons also avoid the peak tourist crowds.

La Marsa offers a rich culinary experience, with influences from Mediterranean and Arabic cuisines. Expect to find dishes like couscous, tagine, seafood, and various grilled meats. Local cafes and restaurants also serve delicious pastries and mint tea.
