The former Hippo Diarrhytus was originally a Phoenician port, then Punic and finally Roman port. We can still appreciate today the ancient port, the Slaheddine Bouchoucha square with a fountain built in 1642. Two mosques are worth the visit; the Rebaa and the Grand Mosques. The blacksmith market is interesting, as we can see artisans using wrought iron to produce master work pieces,

The Kasbah and the small fort of Sidi Hani are very charmful. The fort of Spain, built by a famous corsair in 1573, redeveloped in an open air theatre, offers a very nice view on the city and the lake.
In the neighborhood of Bizerte, do not miss to visit Cap Blanc with the Cornice beaches, Cap Bizerte and Jebel Nador, offering very interesting panoramas: Béchateur, the lighthouse of Ras Engalah ; the lake of Bizerte and lake Ichkeul ; the beach of Remel.
