If you wonder where Tunisians go on holiday, the mystery will be solved when you visit La Marsa. It is the most northern seaside resort in the country, and is so beautiful that it is often compared to the French Riviera. The village is a stunning variation of blues and whites, and the promenade along the coast is a spectacular site, as a string of lovely French colonial villas line it. Along the interior cobbled streets, you’ll see more traditional Tunisian architecture, with the white domes, arching doorways and prominent balconies. Because so many Tunisians flock to La Marsa during summer, budget hotels in La Marsa are not always easy to find. But check with EasyToBook.com for discount La Marsa hotel options.
While in town, you will be tempted by the sunny, sandy beaches and the numerous cafes lining the promenade. When you are interested in something more cultural, visit nearby Carthage. The ruins remind the visitor of the region’s previous inhabitants, including the Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans. The nearby National Museum of Carthage contains artwork found in the tombs at the ancient site.
