About Tripoli
The city known as Trablus is Libya’s capital and has witnessed many wars throughout history. Located in the northern part of Africa, Trablus is along the Mediterranean coast and is an important trade center due to its harbor.
Because the temperature is around 40°C during summer months, the ideal time to visit this city is considered is winter.
Because this city is on a plain and, along with its city center, has many places to see that are close in distance, this city is ideal to be travelled on foot. Public transportation vehicles are old and overcrowded and because of this are not recommended, however you can always find a taxi easily. Tell the taxi driver your destination beforehand and be sure to bargain if possible. Also, make sure you bargain while shopping around the city, as especially the tourists are given higher prices.
