- Language

The local currency is the Tunisian dinar. Credit cards are accepted in major cities, but it's best to carry cash for small expenses. - Transport
Buses, trains, cabs… it's easy to get around! Shared cabs, in particular, are a typical and economical way to get around. - Safety
On the whole, it's safe, but be careful in touristy areas to avoid unpleasant surprises. - Climate
Mediterranean climate on the coast, desert in the south. For the best trip, opt for April, May, September or October, when it's neither too hot nor too cold. - Local customs
It's best to dress discreetly, especially outside the tourist areas. And if you're a couple, avoid overly demonstrative gestures in public. - Food
