Stroll through the medina and the Kasbah
The fortified old town, facing the sea, is the historic heart of Hammamet. Climb the ramparts of the Kasbah for the view over the bay, then lose yourself in the white alleyways and craft shops.
Enjoy the beaches
From Hammamet Nord to Yasmine Hammamet, the coast is lined with long beaches of fine sand. The water is calm in summer, ideal for families.
Yasmine Hammamet and its marina
South of the town, the resort of Yasmine Hammamet brings together hotels, restaurants and a marina that comes alive in the evening. Its recreated medina and leisure parks are a big hit with children.
The International Cultural Centre (Dar Sebastian)
This villa surrounded by gardens, built in the early 20th century, hosts the Hammamet International Festival every summer, with concerts and shows in its open-air theatre.
