In this small article, I will tell you how to get to the capital of the country with the same name in the capital of Tunisia, and visit its main attractions. Our hotel guide has a similar journey cost 54 dollars per person, which is just robbery.
In the hotel, we met another pair and decided to go to Tunisia in four. So, I give step-by-step instructions with photos of our trip to the capital.
Comfortable buses at number 105 walk in Tunisia, their stop is located in the region of the Old Town (Medina). Find the parking is very simple, the landmark you will serve the store of the General (in the photo it is a red signboard with MG letters), by the way, there are inexpensive products at fixed prices.
Parking is a bit above the store on the right side (if you go with the medina). Just in case I post a photo, as this is not a bus station, and you can not notice.
If there is no bus, do not be discouraged, it means it is in the flight, but the new one has not come true. They go every hour, starting from 7-30 (maybe earlier) and up to 18-30. We sat down on the flight from 8-30. The ticket costs 4.2 Tunisian dinars per person (2.5 dollars), the driver in place issues a check. Time on the way of minutes forty-fifty.
The final bus stop is near the Bab Alioua Metro Station. The following options are possible, or take a yellow taxi (approximately 10 dinar) or use the subway. We decided to combine, in Carthage or Cartage (so it sounds like a French manner) to go by public transport, and back by taxi. The subway in Tunisia is most reminiscent of our tram, only in domestic, wagons are air conditioned and look very modern.
On the right at the station Bab Alioua there is a cash desk, where we purchased tickets worth 300 millime / people (0.3 dinars). From Bab Alioua You need to go to the Tunis Marine station, this is the third stop. It is important not to confuse the branch (see photo).
At Tunis Marine station, transplanses the train (TGM line). His stop immediately when leaving the turnstile, go around a long fence and exit to the checkout. The ticket costs 700 Millim per person. Trains in Tunisia is a separate song, but for the sake of sensation of local flavor it is worth trying.
In the train, a scheme of railway stations hangs near the door, our station, on which we are now, the most extreme - Tunis Nord. You need to go to the Carthage Hannibal station (this is twenty minutes).
Let's go outside La Goulette RD and run a little left while on the right side will not see the signboard (see photo).
Go down to the sea, and on the left there will be an entrance to the Antonine Baths Archaeological Reserve (the terms of Anthony Fii). For the entrance, we paid one dinar as for the right to photograph. I will say a little about the fact that the term is one of the most well-preserved parts of the ancient Carthage (relatively of course, since they are left of them), but you will receive an idea of the scale of this grand building.
From Carthage to Sidi-Bu-Said, we went for a taxi worth three dinars on four (1.8 dollars). If you wish, you can walk and walk, it's about thirty walking in La Goulette Rd.
Repened on a taxi, 10 dinars came across the meter. At the bus station purchased tickets and went to Hammamet. Total trips: 54.6 dinars or 33 dollars (33.6 Dinara - travel to Tunisia and back, 4 dinars metro and train, 4 dinars. Entrance tickets, 13 Dinar Taxi).
