The outing, step by step
16:0075 min
The raïs palaces
What remains of the Ottoman navy quarter: restored palaces and fishermen’s houses that host exhibitions.

The walk
Along the sea, under the white arcades of the seafront, at the hour the city comes out to stroll.
18:0030 min
The old fish market
The steps of the fish market and the boats coming in; the car waits for you at the top.
The concierge’s advice
- Exhibitions change; the concierge tells you what is open.
- Come back for dinner: the Belvedere lights its lanterns at the same hour.
