Transport in Tunisia

Tunisia enjoys a relatively good transportation system. For traveling from one region to another, you can choose between different transportation options such as buses, taxis, minibus share taxis, trains, rental cars, and even planes. Cities and largest towns generally have a bus system, but taxis and minibus share taxis make it even easier to get around, even if you are not familiar with the city you are in.

Getting There

Tunisia has international flight connections with a several destinations around the world. Tunis-Carthage Airport is the biggest international airport located in Tunis and used by long-haul and full-service carriers intensively.

Enfidha-Hammamet International Airport along with Djerba-Zarzis International Airport might be your other options for long-haul flight but the variety of flights is lesser.

All international airports in Tunisia are well connected with many destinations in Africa and Europe. If arriving from Europe, you have a good choice of low-cost flights. For more information, see our flights to Tunisia page.

Along with air and land options, it is also possible to take a ferry to Tunisia from France and Italy throughout the year, with several services running every week. For more information, see our ferries to Tunisia page.

Getting Around the Country

When it comes to traveling between regions, Tunisia has a relatively developed transportation system. For traveling from one region to another, you can choose between a few options such as buses, trains, minibus share taxis, rental cars, and even planes as the country is served by domestic airlines.

Buses are afforable and convenient with many routes to various destinations. The railway network connects a few corners of the country and is a cheap, scenic but a slow way to travel around Tunisia and it is not that developed.

Minibus share taxi can help you to reach even the most distant villages. Main large islands can be accessed by ferries and smaller islands can be reached by speedboats and smaller boats.

Getting Around the Cities

Most of cities and larger towns in Tunisia have some kind of local transport system. In largest cities, it can be a network of buses but in most cases it will be just a network of minibus share taxis, with set fares and routes but not rigid timetabling.

Local transport system usually is complemented by various taxi services such as metered taxis that make it even easier to get around.
