One of the most beautiful streets of the New City - Habib Bourguiba Avenue - originates nearby. It is surrounded by slender rows of palm trees and is full of excellent monuments of architecture of the colonial times. It is here that you'll find prestigious hotels. A spectacular Art Nouveau building is occupied by the Hotel du Lac.
For lovers of picturesque corners we can recommend Belvedere Park, one of the most beautiful and largest in the city. Rare species of pine trees, palm, olive, and fig trees grow here. The park is located on the hillside. If you reach its top, you'll enjoy a wonderful panorama of the city. A small zoo operates here, as well as the Museum of Modern Art with a collection of Tunisian artwork.
Not far from the Independence Square, Habib Tamer Garden is found. It pleases with the abundance of greenery and chic design. This garden is decorated in the English style. Beautiful flower gardens and landscape compositions have been formed on its territory. Plenty of fountains support the natural splendor. This place is actually a former old Jewish cemetery. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was agreed to establish a small park here. The park has remained until today.
