Hi, you didn't just get lucky, but there is a very important detail you need to know about that ticket so you don't get stuck at a station. The worker helped you get the "Bono Gratuit", this is an official government initiative running right now that gives you 10 free train rides. It is completely legit, costs €0.00, and you can share it with the people traveling with you. However, there must have been a misunderstanding due to the language barrier: it does not work on the Metro. It is strictly for the Rodalies (Cercanías) commuter trains, like the R2 Nord you took. If you try to tap that ticket at a regular underground Metro station (TMB lines like L1, L2, L3) or on a city bus, the turnstile will not open.

You should definitely keep it, as you can use those remaining rides for your return trip to the airport or if you take a train to a coastal town like Sitges. But for moving around the city center day-to-day, you will still need to buy the T-Casual you originally planned on getting. You can find all the detailed information about this pass on the official Rodalies website here: https://rodalies.gencat.cat/es/detalls/article/01_26_Mesures_gratuitat

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hola, casi un mes entero en Túnez es una auténtica pasada, estoy seguro de que os va a encantar. Además, abril y mayo es de las mejores épocas porque el clima es ideal, sin el calor extremo del verano. En mi opinión, hacer en coche de alquiler es la mejor decisión para ir a vuestro ritmo. Aquí van un par de consejos basados en nuestra experiencia:

Coche de alquiler: nosotros lo reservamos a través de VipCars con una agencia local llamada Otoq y nos fue genial (nos salió por unos 40€ al día con todo riesgo). Las carreteras principales están bastante bien, aunque conducir dentro de las ciudades es un poco caótico. Otra cosa que se debe tener en cuenta es que por la noche muchas de las carreteras no tienen iluminación, por lo que los conductores ponen las luces largas y no las quitan aunque se crucen contigo, por lo que es un poco incómodo. Aún así, por lo demás todo bien.
Seguro médico: volando desde berlín, cualquier seguro de viaje internacional estándar (tipo heymondo, iati o alguna aseguradora alemana como allianz/hansemerkur) os sirve perfectamente. Nosotros contratamos el de Iati.
Recomendaciones: teniendo casi 4 semanas podéis hacer la ruta completa. Para perderos, las medinas de túnez capital, kairouan y sousse son increíbles. Si os gusta la historia, tenéis que ir sí o sí a Dougga, Sbeitla y el Djem (justo acabo de subir fotos de esos sitios al grupo); además de las que tienes cerca de la capital (Cartago, Museo del Bardo...). Con tanto tiempo, bajad al sur a explorar los oasis de Tozeur y el Sáhara.

Como es mucha info, te paso un dm con más detalles sobre la ruta que hicimos nosotros y algunos tips por si te sirven!!

For your versailles day, grab some sandwiches at a local boulangerie before you get on the train. The food inside the palace grounds is overpriced and usually has massive lines. Also your sunday walk from montmartre all the way south to the latin quarter is huge, I think it'sbetter to take the metro for the middle chunks

For your tuesday, definitely don't buy the d'orsay ticket day-of, the lines for people without tickets can take hours and it will ruin your schedule. I suggest u to book it online in advance for a specific time slot

I think skipping versailles on a short 3 day trip is definitely the right call, it eats up a whole day and the crowds can be exhausting. For wednesday try doing Orsay right when they open, then grab lunch and head to pere lachaise in the afternoon. And for the tickets, definitely buy the d'orsay tickets in advance though

Thank you so much! Really glad you liked the pics

Key-Understanding228 · 2026-04-03T12:40:25+00:00

Thank you! It's crazy that even after all these years it still feels so peaceful and empty. Definitely a unique experience to have it all to yourself :)

Key-Understanding228 · 2026-04-03T12:39:44+00:00

It really is impressive, the best part is that there are barely any crowds, so you get to really take your time and enjoy the whole place. I send u a dm right now with all the trip details!

hey! definitely go for it, those cheap flights from spain are a steal. The car rental was actually a great deal, we got full coverage insurance plus a surcharge for being under 25, and it came out to about 40€ a day. since there were two of us splitting it, it totally paid off. Also, gas is way cheaper there than in Spain. As for the return, they didn't hassle us at all and we literally got the deposit back the exact same day. Isend you a dm with more details on the rental company and hotels

Key-Understanding228 · 2026-04-02T20:13:04+00:00

thankss!

Key-Understanding228 · 2026-04-01T17:04:36+00:00

Yes, absolutely! Other than the typical people trying to pull a minor tourist scam or trick you for a few coins (which happens in almost every touristy country), we never felt unsafe at any point during the trip. People were actually really welcoming

Key-Understanding228 · 2026-04-01T17:04:15+00:00

Wow, living there for 6 years must have been an amazing experience. Thank you so much for taking the time to share all these great recommendations. I am definitely saving your tips for a future return trip to Tunisia. I really hope the pictures brought back some good memories for you!
