Means of transport Tunis

The northern suburbs of Tunis are served by the TGM, a small train that runs between Tunis-La Goulette-La Marsa, serving La Goulette, the Kram, Salammbo, Carthage and Sidi Bou Saïd. The total journey from Tunis to La Marsa takes 25 to 30 minutes. Fast, convenient and cheap, this train is similar to the metro in terms of the number of stations and the distances between them. Departures from Tunis from 3h15 and from La Marsa from 3h48. The last departure from Tunis is at 0:30 am and from La Marsa at 0:06 am. Pleasant journey but beware of rush hours!

The company offers flights to Tunis from the airports of Paris-CDG, Paris-Orly, Geneva, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Nice, Strasbourg and Toulouse.

To go to the city center, two possibilities: the cab and the bus. The cab will cost you a fixed price of 30 DT if you take it at the level of the arrivals. But here is the economic trick: go to the floor, at the level of the departures, and take a cab, that will cost you 7 to 10 DT maximum according to the hour (increase of 50 % between 21h and 6h). The private bus or the state buses n° 35 and 635 (every 25 minutes) will be more economical (count 1 DT) and will drop you off in the city center, on the place du 14-Janvier. You will find them on the right as you leave the airport.

This private company offers a comfortable service with its green and white buses. With the UTU's counterpart, these buses offer a complementary offer to the public service.

The city of Tunis has three stations: the central station, located on Ali Darghouth Street, the bus station Tunis-North, located Bab Saadoun, and the bus station Tunis-South, located Bab El Falla. The central station operates connections to Kairouan, Tozeur, Nefta, Djerba, Douz, Tatouine, Sousse. The Tunis-Nord station offers connections to Ain Draham, Bizerte, Beja, Mateur, Jendouba, Tabarka, Le Kef, etc. To get a leaflet centralizing the train schedules, go to the station ticket office.
