Audio Guide of the Roman Baths of Utica

The archaeological site is usually open every day, with approximate hours from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM in winter and until 7:00 PM in summer. We recommend arriving early to make the most of the light and avoid the hottest hours.

The entrance fee is quite affordable, around 8 Tunisian dinars (approximately €2.50). This ticket usually includes access to both the baths and the small site museum, as well as the rest of the Roman and Punic ruins.

For a complete visit that includes the baths, the famous mosaics, and the museum, we recommend setting aside between 1 and 2 hours. It is the ideal amount of time to explore the site at a relaxed pace and listen to your audio guide without rushing.

Utica was the first Phoenician colony in North Africa, founded before Carthage. These baths are a testament to its later splendor as the capital of the Roman province of Africa, standing out for their impressive well-preserved mosaic floors.

Spring (from March to May) and autumn are the best times, as the weather is pleasant for walking outdoors. In summer, temperatures are very high, so it is essential to go early in the morning.

Access is difficult for wheelchairs because of the nature of the terrain: uneven dirt paths and ancient ruins. Although some parts can be seen from the main paths, full mobility within the site is limited.

Utica is strategically located about 30 km from Tunis and near the coastal city of Bizerte. You can combine your visit with a stop at the Bardo Museum or the ruins of Carthage to complete your historical route.

Wear comfortable closed shoes for walking among the stones, bring plenty of water, and use sun protection, as there is little shade. To truly understand what you are seeing, it is essential to have a good audio history that explains the context of the ruins.
