How safe is Tunisia?
Bizerte
Bizerte is a safe city, but staying cautious is always smart. Avoid using your phone openly, keep belongings secure, and stick to well-lit areas at night. While walking alone is usually fine, having company is always safer.

Okey like all countries Tunisia have a safe places for tourists places ur allowed to drink in wear whatever go out anytime and scary places too for the scary places all you have to do is wear something covering because most people do that in those places so people don’t pay attention to you because ur different and for tourists places wear whatever you want do whatever you want even if you are alone and there is also some places that you can wear anything and go out anytime but the problem is you need company for example if you are with me in my neighbourhood you can do whatever you want because they respect me and my family if you are in any neighbourhood and you have someone that lives there as long as you are walking with him no one gives attention or speaks to you and if you want to buy something from anyplace ask someone to buy it for you or search the price on Google so u don’t get scammed but even with scammers the price will always be law it’s a 0.1$ difference I’ve been to Libya and Algeria and I consider tunisia so safe for women and safer with a company

Tunis is safe for tourists in upperside "touristic" cities. However, downtown or in some populated areas, it could be risky to get robbed or pickpocketed. For ladies traveling alone, please contact locals to get instructions on which places to avoid.

I have been living in manouba for the past year and half as a single girl renting an apartment. I have never left that my life was in danger .I could go out at midnight or come back home at 3am and no one ever bothered me . So I feel that manouba is pretty much safe .
Posted: March 15, 2025Fouchana
Fouchana is a small and safe city in my opinion, but one can never be certain that they won't face an incident here. Therefore, in general, caution should be exercised everywhere, not just in Fouchana. This is just my perspective, of course. Anyone wishing to visit is welcome in Tunisia; I will try to help as much as possible.

Tunis is the capital so during the night it's not safe. There is safe places but you need to avoid dark and empty areas. During the day you need to take care of your bag and your Phone. It's not like other cities that can be safer for women

Tunis is the capital of Tunisia where you can find so many people from different cities and countries there it's basically a place that's so popular in Tunisia and walking there alone after dark is very dangerous especially for tourists but it's a beautiful place to visit in the day

Mahdia is a very calm town, the people are chill and very helpful. The fact that it’s small makes almost everyone knows everyone so no one will do anything bad in fear of being found out which is very likely xD

Sfax is safe for women to a certain degree Beware of robbery while walking downtown Avoid walking alone at night, go out in groups instead Avoid public transport (Bus) Avoid walking downtown during rainy days I recommend visiting during spring, summer It's generally warm and sunny

Tunisia, Solo travel
Tunisia is a wonderful country. Its location makes it a melting pot of cultures that have been absorbed during centuries, making it a unicum in the world. People are welcoming and warm. However, moving to the South of the country, in rural areas or even in some neighborhoods in Tunis is not recommended during night for a women alone.

honestly it was one of my most beautiful trips ever to Tunisia. Sousse is really a beautiful city, there were a lot of lights because I went on Christmas and it looked very expensive and choc. people there are so open minded too. I went to iberostar kantaoui hotel and everything was perfect about the hotel from the food to the service to the clean rooms, love it 🩷
