Driving and parking in Tunis: our tips
Traffic is heavy at peak times, generally 7.30-9am and 4.30-6.30pm. Allow extra time and use ring roads such as the A1 motorway to cross the city. Downtown, supervised car parks are more convenient than on-street parking.
For the capital, a city car remains the best choice: easier to manoeuvre and to park. An SUV makes more sense if you plan trips to the north or inland.
