Getting There

Utique sits about 35 km northwest of Tunis, off the GP8 road towards Bizerte. There is no direct public transport to the site itself.

The simplest option is to hire a taxi from Tunis for the round trip — agree on the fare in advance, including a wait of an hour or two at the site. A louage (shared minibus) from Tunis to Henchir Bou Chateur or to Utique-village will get you close, but you will still have a couple of kilometres to walk to the archaeological park.

The site combines naturally with a day trip to Bizerte or with Carthage on the way back into Tunis. If you have a rental car, parking is informal — pull off the road near the entrance.
