- Antonine Baths: The largest Roman bath complex in Africa, built in the 2nd century on the shore. What remains is a vast underground level of vaulted rooms and a single reconstructed column that shows how tall the original halls were. Walk the seafront terrace for the view.
- Byrsa Hill and the Carthage National Museum: The citadel of the Punic city, with Punic house foundations and a Roman forum beneath. The museum holds mosaics, funerary masks and sculpture, and the terrace looks across the Gulf of Tunis.
- Saint Louis Cathedral: A 19th-century building on Byrsa Hill, now used as a cultural venue called Acropolium. The interior is a Moorish and Gothic mix, and the roof views are worth a look.

- Tophet of Salammbô: A Punic sacred precinct with rows of small stone markers called stelae. It is quiet, compact and sobering, and ancient writers linked it to child sacrifice, a claim that scholars still debate.
- Punic Ports: Two harbors, one commercial and one circular military basin with an island at its center. Today they are still-water lagoons among houses, but the layout shows how the Carthaginian fleet was organized.
- Roman Villas and the Odeon: A cluster of villas on the hillside, including the Villa of the Aviary, with mosaics and a view down to the sea. They are the best place to picture daily life in Roman Carthage.
- Roman Theater: A large restored theater that hosts the Carthage International Festival in summer. It is more impressive for its setting than for original stonework.
- Damous el Karita Basilica: One of the largest early Christian basilica sites in Africa, with huge column bases and a wide nave. Few visitors reach it, so it is the quietest stop of the day.
