This small seaside resort is on Tunisia's quieter, less-visited north coast. Bizerte offers nice beaches and great seafood. It also has an interesting Moorish Old Port, with narrow alleyways, arches and dimly lit shops. World War II buffs will be interested to know that Bizerte is near one of the final battlefields of the Afrika Korps. Lake Ichkeul, a wetlands sanctuary for migrating birds and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is also nearby. 40 mi/65 km north of Tunis.
