Tunis climate

 Tunis is characterised by a hot-summer Mediterranean climate, with a hot, dry season and a cool, rainy season. The hottest months are June to September, where temperatures can reach the early 30s and have even been known to soar to the mid-40s. If you’re not a fan of the intense heat then this is probably not the best time to book flights to Tunis. Opt instead for April to May or mid-September to October, when the weather is more comfortable and pleasant. During the month of May, Labour Day is celebrated. This is a chance for Tunisians to relax and meet up with family and friends. As this is a public holiday, there may be reduced services for tourists.Winter is the wettest time of the year, however, the sun can be present on some days. If you’re happy to dodge some rain and are looking for cheap flights to Tunis and better hotel rates then this could be a good time to visit.

Getting around Tunis

Tunis is typically a walking city. With twisting labyrinths of narrow lanes and sprawling boulevards perfect for window shopping, the best way to go about exploring this fascinating city is on foot. Furthermore, you may even find that setting off on foot gives you more freedom than a car could offer – enabling you to meander through different alleyways and parks all day to your heart’s content.

Getting downtown

Around 7 miles (4 km) from the city centre, Tunis-Carthage International Airport (TUN) offers travellers various options for completing their onward travel in comfort after their flight to Tunis has arrived. As at every airport there will be a fleet of taxis waiting outside, and if you’re travelling with heavy baggage this will probably be your most convenient way of reaching your onward destination. However, with a number of different bus companies offering regular and cost-effective transport to the city centre it may well be worth considering taking a bus. Running every 15 minutes, you’re sure to be able to hop on a bus relatively quickly and cheaply to avoid overpriced taxi fares.
