Tunis Nightlife

The nightlife scene in Tunis has a little bit of everything, from casual cafés along Avenue Habib Bourguiba to lively clubs on the coast. A popular place to go in the evening, particularly in summer, are the cafés in Sidi Bou Said. Visitors can enjoy a casual evening of smoking a narguilah (water pipe) or trying a local favorite, bambaloni (a sweet, deep-fried doughnut). Those looking for a night out can head to La Marsa or Hammamet for the nightclubs, or stick to the city centre for more casual bars.

Most cultural events in Tunis take place in summer, including the Festival de Carthage in July and August. Listings of cultural events can be found in the local press.
