Getting Around Hammamet: Walkability, Public Transit & Biking

Hammamet is charming for strolls around its vibrant Medina and the modern Yasmine Hammamet area, yet it isn't ideally set up for travelers who prefer walking everywhere. Points of interest are often spaced apart, and while taxis are easily accessible and budget-friendly, they're essential for longer distances. Walking is great for exploring certain neighborhoods, but less viable for reaching all the city's highlights on foot.

Public transit in Hammamet offers basic connectivity, featuring buses that link to Tunis and other towns, along with 'louages' or shared mini-buses. While budget-friendly and functional, the system’s reach within Hammamet is limited, often requiring travelers to use taxis for door-to-door access. This mixed approach can limit ease of travel within the city for daily commutes, though it isn’t entirely car-reliant.

Cycling around Hammamet isn't the most convenient option for commuters, as the city lacks dedicated bike lanes and the traffic can be intimidating. While there are some flat, scenic coastal paths suited for leisurely biking, they're not enough to support cycling as practical daily transport. Additionally, the terrain in various areas and safety concerns due to traffic further discourage relying on bicycles for day-to-day errands.
