Take a short drive into Tunis, the Tunisian capital, with its impressive colonial-style boulevards and bustling medina (Old Town)—the ancient heart of the city. Savor the sounds, sights and aromas of the markets, barter a little and soak up the atmosphere. You'll stop at the Bardo Museum, housed in the 19th-century Palace of the Beys. The Bardo Museum is famous for its outstanding collection of mosaics and major finds from the Phoenician/Roman settlement at Carthage, as well as early Christian and Muslim relics. Take a guided tour of the most significant displays, including the Virgil room housing a spectacular Roman mosaic from Sousse.
