How safe is Tunis?

Honestly, it depends on where you are exactly. But mainly, it's fairly safe. I've never gotten an issue, but I can't talk for everyone. You just have to be as careful as you usually are in any other place.

Tunis is quite safe especially if you avoid just a few areas after dark which are already well known and could be easily avoided . All touristy places are very safe. As a women I think it’s a good place to live or visit.

It is really a lovely country with its seas, mountains, and deserts. Its nature and scenery are breathtaking. Safety depends on the place you are in, but overall it is safe. You just need to be cautious at times to avoid theft. It's advisable not to use your phone on public transportation.

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.
