How safe is Tunisia?

Honestly, I feel like Tunisia is pretty safe overall. Day-to-day life is calm, people are friendly, and it’s easy to get around without feeling too worried. Of course, like anywhere, there are places where you should stay aware of your surroundings, especially at night or in crowded areas, but I don’t usually feel in danger. The biggest “risks” are more about petty stuff like pickpocketing than anything extreme.

It depends on where you are, but overall the city center is often safe. Ig make sure to stay in places where there’s people 😭 But if you’re ever somewhere very crowded you should be more cautious, just hide your money, camera if you carry one…

It depends on the moments. Sometimes taxis make me anxious. Even in my apartment I sometimes feel anxious. I don't know yet if it's because I'm not used to the place or if sometimes it's just not safe. Especially in my neighborhood. Sometimes people tell me it's okay. Sometimes not.

It's moderatly safe. Be respectful to the country and understand the culture before going. Research dangerous neighbourhoods (very well known) and stay away and do not go alone in the dark or in abandoned places and you are good to go.

It’s actually safe, u just need to be careful Life is good; u can walk alone safe but not after 11a.m. Also, you can use transport and it’s safe, you don’t need to worry that much just be aware of whatever could happen.

It's heavenly and beautiful! We visited Tabarka, Bni Mtir and Ain Drahem. Tabarka has great beaches with mountain and old castle views and luxurious hotels. Bni Mtir has enchanting forests with breathtaking Waterfalls. Take the chance to buy essential oils from the guy near the Waterfalls; his products are authentic, and the prices are very reasonable. Ain Drahem was also very beautiful with a unique vibe.
