Spectacular Roman mosaics are the high point of this museum.

This museum is located in an 18th century royal palace. So many Roman mosaics and Statues. The mosaics are beautiful and a must see. There is a showcase with the bullet holes from the 2015 terrorist attack. Highly recommend this Museum.

The home of Baron Rodolphe d'Erlanger, who was responsible for the blue and white color scheme of the town.
Reviewed By CarmenB400 - Bucharest, Romania
Le Palais du Baron D'Erlanger is an absolute gem and worth visiting. The outside architecture is simple and clean, with the emblematic white and blue color scheme of Sidi Bou Said, while the interior is beautifully luxuriant. The eye-catching plasterwork and amazing views over the sea is a heath taking mix. The views are among the best ever.

Truly impressive Roman baths, which can give a glimpse on the size and power of the Roman empire. Not to mention that the hot water was transported there through 139 km of pipes and viaducts from the city of Zaghouan. The site is very big and worth spending some time and the views are fabulous.

We spent an entire day walking around in Sidi Bou Said. There are vendors and boutiques everywhere. When we got hungry or thirsty we would stop in a restaurant which all had amazing views. The quality of food and service was good, but very different then anything I had ever eaten.

An enormous amphitheater and a cave are among the attractions at these famous ruins. Admission to the ruins includes the excellent Carthage Museum.
Reviewed By wendysZ6122XL
I wrote a review under Carthage tours. This is worth seeing. You can hire a guide or walk yourself. There are some information signs. It's an amazing experience. This museum entry can be bought at the gate and includes multiple different sights. We purchased a taxi for a few hours and went to the sites we wanted to see. Only $12 TND.
