부동산 — Amilcar
The Amilcar is a functional, no-frills 3-star in the city centre, a short walk from the Medina and the main boulevard Habib Bourguiba. The lobby feels like a 1970s-era business hotel that has been updated just enough: dark marble floors, a small reception desk, and a lounge area that doubles as a breakfast room. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a clean, reliable base for exploring Tunis on foot, rather than anyone after atmosphere or design. The USP is location — you’re minutes from the cathedral, the National Theatre and the old souks, but the area can feel scruffy at night.
Tunis 연대기
Tunis began as the Berber settlement of Tynes, overshadowed by Carthage until the Arabs conquered it in the 7th century and built the Great Mosque of Zaytuna. Under the Hafsid dynasty (13th–16th centuries) it became a major trading port and the capital of Ifriqiya, its medina filling with palaces, mosques and souks. The French Protectorate (1881–1956) added the wide boulevards and neo-classical buildings of the ville nouvelle, creating the distinctive grid of central Tunis. Today the city balances its Arab-Mediterranean heritage with a modern, cosmopolitan identity: Tunisians discuss politics at pavement cafes in the morning while the call to prayer echoes from the minarets.
방문하기 가장 좋은 시간
Tunis 완전 가이드 →최고의 달
May and September-October: daytime temperatures 22–28°C, clear skies, and the city is busy but not swamped. May has spring flowers; October is warm enough for outdoor cafes.
Peak / Festival Surge 근처 오락거리
July–August is peak season: temperatures hit 35°C+, and Tunis fills with European tourists and diaspora families. Hotel prices at the Amilcar can double. The Carthage International Festival (July) and the Tabarka Jazz Festival (July-August) draw crowds.
Budget Shoulder 시즌
April and November: April has mild weather (15–22°C) and rain, but lower prices. November is cooler (12–20°C) and calm, with discounts of 30-40% on summer rates.
날씨 & 포장
July in Tunis is hot and dry, but the evening sea breeze (the ‘sirocco’ can blow dust in from the Sahara) means you need a light layer. Pack suncream, a reusable water bottle and a light scarf or jacket for the coastal wind.
City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Tunis
- The Tunis-tGM light rail (lines 1, 3, 4) still serves the city centre but expect delays; a new line to the northern suburbs is under construction but not yet open.
- The Bardo Museum reopened fully in early 2026 after extensive renovations — check if the mosaics gallery is back on display.
- Ramadan in 2026 runs roughly late May to late June, so by early July the city returns to normal opening hours; but expect a few cafes and shops in the Medina to be quieter as staff recover.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Amilcar, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request high-floor rooms (4th or 5th floor) as they are furthest from street-level noise and more likely to have a balcony. Corner rooms on these floors may offer partial sea views due to Tunis's hilly terrain and proximity to the coast.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor (ground level) or facing the rear service alley where bins are emptied early morning. Rooms near the lift shaft on any floor can be noisy with foot traffic.
Best views
Rooms at the front (south-east side) overlook the main street with city life and some distance views of the Mediterranean glint on clear days. Upper-floor corner rooms on the north-east side may catch a sliver of the harbour.
Quietest floors
4th and 5th floors
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from taxis and scooters on Rue de Marseille is significant until 22:00 and resumes around 06:00. The hotel's lift is manual and clatters on every floor. Occasional late-night arrivals in the lobby can be heard from adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
Ask for a room on the 5th floor, left-hand side of the corridor — furthest from the lift and with a small balcony. Check-in after 15:00 for better room availability; if arriving by car, park at the nearby public garage on Rue de la Commune (much cheaper than hotel options).
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Tunis-Carthage Airport → Place Barcelone (near Hotel Princesse)
💡 Bus stop is outside terminal 1 exit. Ask driver for 'Barcelone' stop. Then it's a 10-minute walk east along Avenue Habib Bourguiba to the hotel. Watch for pickpockets near the bus station.
Tunis Marine station → Place Barcelone station
💡 For Hotel Princesse, get off at Place Barcelone (not Tunis Marine). The hotel is a 2-minute walk from the station exit. Avoid riding during 08:00–09:00 and 17:00–18:00 — it's rammed. Buy a rechargeable card at any station kiosk.
Tunis Marine station → La Marsa
💡 Great for a day trip to the coast. Ride the TGM north from Tunis Marine to Sidi Bou Said (blue-and-white village) or La Marsa beach. The railway runs right along the sea — sit on the left for the view. Valid with the same rechargeable card.
Tunis-Carthage Airport → Hotel Princesse
💡 Ignore drivers offering fixed prices inside arrivals. Walk to the official taxi rank outside; meters start at 0.500 TND. Have small bills — drivers rarely have change for 20 TND notes.

Tunis 주요 관광지
💡 Check the board outside for free organ concerts on some weekends. Photography is allowed without flash.
💡 Enter via Rue de la Kasbah and follow the main arteries to avoid getting lost. Haggle politely in the souks.
💡 Bring a picnic and aim for late afternoon when the light is best and families gather. The zoo is cheap but basic.
💡 Take the TGM light rail from Tunis Marine station (about €0.50). Visit early to avoid crowds. The Café des Nattes on the main square is a classic spot for mint tea.
💡 Go on a Sunday morning when it is quieter. The audio guide is worth the small extra cost.
