      Bizerte is located in the north of Tunisia, approx. 65km north of Tunis. It is the the largest city north of the capital. Bizerte is not on the tourist track so you may actually have a chance to see some real Tunisia here. The main other reasons to come here are the unspoiled traditional quarter of the old port and the presence of a couple of good beaches in the area.

      The main draw in the old medina is the enormous kasbah. With its massive walls it looks out over the northern side of the entrance to the old harbour. Originally a Byzantine fort built in the 6th century AD, the present fort was built by the Ottomans in the 17th century. There is also a smaller fort called ksibah, which actually also means small fort, which houses a small but interesting oceanographic museum.

      Around Place Bouchoucha in the heart of the Ottoman town you find lively fish markets, the Great Mosque and the Youssef Dey fountain. Up on a hill overlooking the town there is the so-called Spanish Fort. As far as I know it's actually Turkish.
    • filter_dramaGet in
      You can take a share taxi from [wiki=044c0f755d7e410a0da4c7d2b1a52263]Tunis[/wiki] for under 10TD (4.750TD per person, december 2011). These arrive to the south of town - from there, either get a taxi or simply walk a few kilometers down the main road and over the modern suspension bridge in to Bizerte proper.

      Its also possible to get in by louage from the west, eg: [wiki=8f37c6ea000157e2137a40932eabb21e]Tabarka[/wiki], though this may require changing a few times en-route.
    • filter_dramaGet around
      Walking is an easy way to get just about anywhere. Otherwise, you can grab a metered taxi almost anywhere within the town for around 1-2TD maximum. Unlike Tunis, the drivers seem very friendly here.
    • filter_dramaSee
      See some nice old stonework, antique cannons and enjoy sweeping views of Bizerte at this historic fort.
      *Wander around and through the Kasba, or old Arab quarter, to get a feel for times passed. With its imposing walls offering a decidedly military appearance, the inside space is remarkably quiet and simply houses a warren of rather-vertical homes and a mosque.
      *Definitely worth checking out, this museum includes both historical maps of town (about the entrance way), and a large number of old photographs - many apparently culled from postcards. The squeamish and animal lovers may wish to boycott however, as there are a large number of imprisoned animals and fish about the place, which does not compare favourably in the acquarium department to the equivalent Musee Oceanographique in [wiki=6b616d5cc0e29fed940841e854c78591]Carthage[/wiki], [wiki=044c0f755d7e410a0da4c7d2b1a52263]Tunis[/wiki]. The roof space, which apparently used to house a cafe, had been closed in December 2010 but may be open during peak season (summer).

      Pick your way amongst the sand and lagoons, dodging amorous couples, fishermen, grazing cattle, and stray dogs. Scenic vistas at sunrise!

      A warren of markets extends from along the western edge of the harbour to the north, and thence further west. Near the harbour is mostly food, whereas westerly dominions cater more towards the daily use and clothing domains. Don't expect to find too much uniquely Tunisian here, the majority of goods are imported and of Chinese manufacture, but the lively street scenes and their characters are definitely an experience to wander through.

      An amazing, mock-Phoenician timber boat that functions as a restaurant. Gilt with copper art and sculpture inside, the service is attentive and the French-only menu relatively extensive, offering a remarkable range of seafood as well as salads, steak, lamb, etc. Though it lacks a wine menu, the Tunisian house red is good.
    • filter_dramaDrink
      Some of the restaurants (Phoenician Restaurant, etc.) offer wine or beer. Other venues include:
      * Pretty empty and dull as a venue, but some takers even during off season.
    • filter_dramaSleep
      This hotel is large but simple, aiming to impress but failing on more than a few counts. The rate is only slightly lower for single travelers. Room prices include a breakfast buffet, which is quite basic. Whilst internet is provided, the signal in the rooms is extremely weak and it may not work, forcing you to use internet in the foyer.
    • filter_dramaGet out
      Ichkeul National Park - a freshwater lake and marshland which is the last remaining in a chain that once crossed North Africa. Of importance to migrating birds such as ducks, geese and pink flamingos and once included on the [wiki=3d51617f232f1b2232edda05111e74b0]List of World Heritage in Danger[/wiki] in 1996 because the salinity of the water was increasing due to up-river dams. It has since been removed due to efforts by the government to limit use of water by farmers for irrigation. To get there, either hire a car or get a louage from the westward bus station (walk west from the main bridge) to the nearby town of [wiki=3a62a378c374039a25de8509ba93a69f]Tinja[/wiki] and start walking or hitching. The main attraction appears to be a forested hill and nearby wetlands on the south of the lake.
