background
Hammamet is located at the northern end of Hammamet Bay, which stretches for about 20 km. The old town lies on a small peninsula and has in the north, v. a. but in the south an extensive sandy beach zone. In the city there is a heavily restored fortress right at the harbor that surrounds the old town. The cityscape is strongly shaped by tourism.
About 10 km south of the city, the new tourist center Hammamet-Yasmine has been built in recent years, which looks very commercial and even has an ice rink in addition to a marina. The "New Medina" is 100% artificial and only a weak copy of the original.
getting there
By plane
There are regular connections from most of Germany's international airports to the approximately 50 km away Enfidha Airport.
By train
Trains to Tunis run several times a day, mainly in the morning and evening, from the six-kilometer inland long-distance train station 1 Bir Bou Regba (بئر بورقبة). From there, a narrow-gauge railway runs via the actual Hammamet station Nabeul.
By bus
Public buses to and from Tunis drive throughout the day. Driving time approx. 1 hour
In the street
Hammamet is on the highway from Sousse to Tunis and can therefore be easily reached by car from both cities. There are many car rental companies in Hammamet, all of which are geared towards European tourists.
