Carthage, located near the capital city of Tunis, offers a fascinating look into Tunisia's ancient history. Once a powerful Phoenician city, it was a hub of trade and culture in the Mediterranean before its destruction by the Romans in 146 BC. The ruins, spread across several hills with stunning views of the Mediterranean, include notable sites like the Antonine Baths, the ancient harbor, and the Roman amphitheater. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1979, Carthage holds immense historical significance. The site's archaeological museum displays artifacts from both the Carthaginian and Roman periods, making it a must-see for history lovers.

A great site to visit, our Gate 1 Travel tour was there in early March so the weather was perfect - sunny but nice and cool! Photos are of Brysa Hill, site of the ancient acropolis, and the Antonine Baths. This is definitely a must see site!

I love coming to this place as they are many things to see. It is a historical place to visit. And it’s located on top of the hills, the Cathedral was amazing. The entrance ticket that you are, paying will also include all the other historical place within the Carthage area. It’s a great place to visit where you can bring your friends and family.

The museum was unfortunately closed due to renovations, but the rest was freely accessible. The area is quite small, but still fascinating. Sure, it's just ruins, but I find it hard not to be moved when you're staring at signs of life from hundreds of years ago. Out of all the sites, this one contains more signs. Maps, info on what these places used to be. I'd say 1h-1h30 should be enough to take it all in.
