It depends on where you want to go. Each region has it's own specific charm about it.
If you like mountains, I recomend Hammam Bourguiba. I went there in December for vacation and it was gorgeous! Here's some pics: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/jamie_hassen/album?.dir=4351&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.com/ph//my_photos
Of course in the south is the Sahara. I like the town of Gabes for the south because it's close to the Sahara, and it has an oaisis just outside of the main town. I have a picture of the oaisis (hidden amongst a few family pics): http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/jamie_hassen/album?.dir=77e8&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.com/ph//my_photos
In the capitol, there are quite a few places. See my answer to another question for tips on that: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApKAJPepeARHXRIUwkLbF2zzy6IX?qid=20060727162621AAFnMwl
I live in a touristic town - Monastir. It is absolutely gorgeous and very calm and relaxing. Here are some pics of my town: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/jamie_hassen/album?.dir=44a4&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.com/ph//my_photos

Don't worry about the other answers, I had a great time in Tunisia. If you're staying up in the North try and get on a 2 or 3 day trip around the country. It's really different in different areas. The trip we went on included a horse and carriage ride around a desert oasis, a camel ride through the Sahara as the sun set, a train journey through the mountains and lots of other stops along the way. It is also a good place to Scuba dive or take a boat trip.
The people are quite pushy but not in a nasty way. If you're firm with them they're fine with it. Took me a couple of days to get used to that.
The beaches are lovely and the sea clear and warm. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
(I also was asked if I wanted to sell my girlfriend for camels - It's a joke don't be uptight about it. I said the bloke could have her for half a camel. The people are nice if you treat them right and don't act like a spoilt British tourist trying to conquer another country)

Avoid Bizerte- it's pretty dull and poor. There's a Roman settlement with mosaics near Tunis which is good though...

Avoid Tunisia at all costs. Once you get outside the hotels, there's nothing there.
Been once...Never again.

the people? thats a bit harsh actually its mainly just people in the towns that will literally drag you into their shops. Someone offered to buy my mum for some camels when i went.
