From Tunis we took the TGM train to Sidi Bou Said, an upscale town just north of central Tunis. It took us about 30 minutes to get there and cost about a $1. From the train station there is a short walk uphill to the main part of town, which isn't much more than a plaza and a few small side streets. However, Sidi Bou Said isnt known for being a hot spot, it is famous for its beautiful white and blue houses and it's picturesque setting on a bluff overlooking the sea. It is a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee and people watch and to get some air. Another highlight is the small donut shop just behind the main cafe. There you can buy hot fresh sugar donuts for about .10 each and boy are these things amazingly good. I think we ate about 7 of them.
