Tel Aviv is Israel’s city by the sea: beaches, cafés, nightlife and the ancient port of Jaffa. More stays open on Shabbat than in Jerusalem, and it is a convenient base for Jerusalem, the Dead Sea and the Galilee. Give the city itself 1–2 days.
What to see
- Old Jaffa — the port, the flea market and city views.
- The promenade and beaches — from Jaffa to Tel Aviv Port.
- Carmel Market and the Yemenite Quarter.
- Neve Tzedek — the first neighbourhood outside Jaffa’s walls.
- The White City — Bauhaus buildings, a UNESCO site.
- Sarona — a market and restaurants in a former Templer colony.
Getting there
- From Ben Gurion Airport — a train to the Tel Aviv stations ⟦verify⟧ journey time; at night and on Shabbat, a taxi or transfer.
- To Jerusalem — train or bus, about an hour ⟦verify⟧.
Where to stay
- By the sea (HaYarkon St) — steps from the beach.
- Neve Tzedek and Jaffa — atmospheric, boutique hotels.
- Rothschild Boulevard — central, cafés and Bauhaus.
