You step onto sun-warmed limestone above the Mediterranean; salt-scented wind pushes back your hair and a guide gestures toward a sweep of ruins that have faced these waters for millennia. The path moves between low stone walls, mosaics peeking from shaded rooms, and the ruined colonnades of baths that once hosted an empire.

History
Founded by Phoenician settlers and later a major Punic power, Carthage was destroyed by Rome in 146 BC and rebuilt as a prominent Roman city that left the baths, ports and villas you see today.
Conservation
Ongoing restoration and erosion control are active priorities; stay on designated paths, avoid touching fragile mosaics, and follow guide instructions to limit impact.

Bring sun protection
The site has little shade—carry sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and sunglasses for the full 2–3 hour tour.
Sturdy shoes only

Passport on hand
A current passport is required for admission and may be checked at entry points, so keep it accessible.
