We visited in the early evening ... and the lovely soft light brought out the Instagram people ... although maybe they are a constant feature of Sidi Bou Said ! It really is a stunning town on top of the hill with views out through the beautiful buildings to sea almost everywhere you look. The guidebooks list it as a top place to visit from Tunis, and they aren't wrong!

I visited four sites in Tunis - this is my second favourite after the Bardo Museum . I didn’t quite enjoy Carthage or the medina . I enjoyed Sidi Boudi Said as it had a very relaxed atmosphere and the architect of the buildings are great . I lived the white and blue buildings but do note that they were all painted blue only very recently . They were previously painted white and yellow . It is a high income area so this is the pm’s d where the rich and well heeled will spent their time and money . If you are staying for meals- highly recommend you eat the seafood as the fish is freshly caught or harvested in any of the restaurants. Certainly a place to go for its unique site .

We were very impressed with this little village as the prettiest place we saw on our tour of the Tunis area. The white and blue buildings are just lovely. It is clean and full of places to shop and eat, as well as some hotels. Even the train station is pretty.

Look, there is no argument : Sidi Bou Said is a very charming, picturesque place - Andalucia in Tunisia. But it also has this feel of "tourist trap". Most people wandering the streets are tourists and all shops & restaurants cater for them.

Beautiful beyond words. Sidi Bou Saïd is very pretty. Traditional and reminded me of being back in Mykonos or Santorini but with a Maghrebi and Andalusian influence. Walk, explore and get lost in the cobblestone alleyways. Go further than the main touristy part and you will discover little hidden gems.

We visited from the cruise ship port. The taxis at the port wanted 80-100 euros for a 3 hour tour. We walked outside the gate and found a nice gentleman who spoke English for 40 euros. He was delightful and waited for us as we walked around the village for about 2 hours. I loved this place - though crowded with tourists. Many shops selling similar items, but, if you look closely, you'll find some gems. Loved the blue and white ala Santorini.

It is a beautiful village Centre, with all the blue and white colors. Well maintained and clean. Then again it is also a tourist shopping mile, and everybody is trying to pull you in to buy souvenirs which 90% are the same across all shops, so look up and walk through some side roads, to absorb the beauty.
