Alongside a number of hotel discos, the innumerable clubs in Hammamet on the east coast attract a fun-seeking public. Offerings include the Galaxy, California, Tropicana and Manhattan nightclubs. An evening is best kicked off in a small restaurant or bar before heading off to a 'dance temple' at around midnight. The variety of restaurants ranges from simple, yet good, typical Tunisian small restaurants such as the Rotisserie to the more upmarket restaurants such as La Perle du Golfe, both of which are situated on the Avenue de la République.
In the capital of Tunis, the majority of the discos and bars are to be found in the big hotels, for example, the Africa or El Hana. A large number of hotels also put on folklore performance with belly dancing and artists. The music scene is dominated by resident cultural institutions such as the German Goethe Institute, which invites soloists and orchestras to participate in guest performances. A special experience is a visit to the festival of the Medina during the fasting month of Ramadan, where the diversity of Arabic culture is on show.
It is above all in the well-maintained ancient theatres where open-air theatre and concert performances take place during the summer months. A special artistic enjoyment, for example, is promised in the form of summer festivals in the theatre of Carthage on the Bay of Tunis or Dougga's theatre inland.
