Overview
Bizerte is Tunisia's northernmost city, sitting on a peninsula at the mouth of the Mediterranean, roughly 100 km from Tunis. It offers a more relaxed pace than the capital, with a historic Kasba, Spanish Fort with sweeping views, and a working harbour that still hosts fishing boats alongside pleasure craft.
