Watch Out For
⚠️Medina
Tunis scores 48/100 on our stroller-friendliness scale. Below you'll find a full breakdown of terrain, transit accessibility, and family facilities — plus neighborhood-level tips and stroller vs. carrier advice for Tunis.
📋 The Bottom Line
Tunis is a city of two halves. The modern Ville Nouvelle along Avenue Habib Bourguiba offers wide boulevards, cafes, and relatively smooth sidewalks. The UNESCO-listed Medina, however, is a labyrinth of narrow alleys, steps, and uneven surfaces completely unsuitable for strollers. The light rail (tramway) has some accessible stops. Tunisians are warm and family-oriented.
