Sidi Bou Said — tid och väder

Sevärdheter och historiska platser

• The clifftop blue-and-white village above the Mediterranean has every house painted white with shutters and doors in blue.
• The Ennejma Ezzahra museum, the Andalusian-style palace of Baron Rodolphe d'Erlanger, has gardens overlooking the bay.
• The small Sidi Bou Said marina at the foot of the cliff is lined with fishing boats, yachts and seafood restaurants.
• The lighthouse viewpoint offers the most famous panorama of the Bay of Tunis and distant Carthage and La Goulette.

Museer

• Ennejma Ezzahra is the Centre of Arab and Mediterranean Music in the former palace of Baron d'Erlanger.
• Dar el Annabi is a traditional Tunisian house-museum with carved ceilings and a central courtyard.
• Galerie Sidi Bou Fares displays the work of local artists inspired by the village's signature blue.

Var man kan umgås

• Café des Nattes on the main square is a legendary spot with reed mats instead of chairs and pots of mint tea.
• Café Sidi Chabaane has a terrace right on the clifftop — the best place to catch sunset over the sea.
• Walk down the steps to the small harbour and stroll past the yachts, then dine on seafood at one of the quayside taverns.
