Bab al-Bhar, the monumental gateway to the Medina of Tunis, stands as a portal between eras. Once part of the old city’s defensive walls, its arch now opens onto a lively plaza where daily life unfolds. Here, children play by fountains, artisans sell traditional textiles, and tea houses hum with conversation. Beyond lies the Medina, Tunisia’s historic heart. Its narrow streets branch into specialised souqs, each dedicated to specific crafts: copper smiths hammering wares, perfumers blending oils and leather workers stitching goods. At its centre rises Al-Zaytuna Mosque, the city’s oldest and most revered site. Stalls between these hubs offer ceramics, textiles, and other handcrafted treasures. Visit mid-week to navigate comfortably. On Saturdays, the crowds can become overwhelming, and on Sundays many shops stay closed.

With its 62 halls and 100,000 paintings, the Tretiakov Gallery contains the world’s largest collection of Russian art. Fortunately, all of these pieces are not all displayed together, but a few at a time.

The Key West Garden Club is an old Civil War fort and National Historic site that offers a variety of tropical flowering plants and trees, along with a lily pond and a small waterfall. They also offer services for wedding receptions. This is one of the area's few tourist attractions with no admission charge, since the Key West Garden Club is a non-profit organization.

If visiting during the winter months, be sure to pay a visit to Frabosa Soprana, located about 25 kilometres southeast of Cuneo. It is one of the region's premier skiing locations. Other attractions in the area include the Caves of Bossea, a 2 kilometre network of spellbinding grottoes.
