Colonial houses

There are areas in the very center of Tunis that have not changed much since the colonial times. Step out from the medina and you can stroll through these streets lined with colonial buildings. Tunis' modern town was built up over relatively few years, and the majority of houses in town centre belong to the period around 1900.

Though the French have left and Tunisians have taken possession of their city, many institutions like cafés, confectionery and even ordinary shops live on from the colonial times, with the same interior and type of service. This only adds to the charm of the city.
