Avenue Habib Bourguiba, Main boulevard in central Tunis, Tunisia.
Avenue Habib Bourguiba stretches about one mile through downtown Tunis and features tree-lined sidewalks with numerous cafes, shops, and government buildings creating a lively commercial district.
Originally known as the Promenade de la Marine, the avenue was renamed in 1956 after Tunisia's first president following independence from France and became a symbol of national pride.
The avenue regularly hosts festivals, parades, and political demonstrations, serving as a central gathering space for Tunisian civic life and public celebrations throughout the year.
Visitors can easily access the avenue via multiple bus lines and the nearby metro station, and it serves as a convenient starting point for exploring the historic Medina.
The avenue features notable landmarks including the Municipal Theatre from 1902 in Art Nouveau style and the Cathedral of St. Vincent de Paul completed in 1897.
