Things to do

Tel Aviv stretches along the sea: the beachfront runs from the port to Jaffa, and the streets behind it hold white Bauhaus buildings. The centre is flat and easy on foot, but distances add up, so a bicycle and the red light rail line save time.

Beaches and the port

Gordon and Frishman beaches line the promenade, and the Tel Aviv Port begins beyond them with wooden decks. Take a towel and water, walk north beside the sea and eat lunch at the port.

Jaffa and Neve Tzedek

Old Jaffa climbs above the harbour: stone alleys, St Peter's Church and the sea below. Come down the slope to Neve Tzedek with its small houses and shops, then walk on to HaTachana station.

Carmel Market and the White City

Carmel Market sells spices, cheese and fruit, and the Bauhaus streets of the White City begin beside it. Walk Rothschild Boulevard, turn towards the market and finish at Rabin Square.

Where to stay

Neve Tzedek

Neve Tzedek is quiet and well kept: small houses, boutiques and cafés on shaded streets. Rooms cost more, though the beach and Jaffa are within walking distance.

Florentin

Florentin lives on workshops, street art and bars in old industrial halls. It is cheaper than the centre and wakes up in the evening, but streets are noisy and not always clean.

Old Jaffa

Old Jaffa suits anyone who wants to wake up by the sea among stone walls. Galleries and restaurants are close, though evenings bring crowds and the way to the port runs down stairs.

Getting to and around Tel Aviv

Ben Gurion airport connects to Tel Aviv by rail, with trains reaching HaShalom and Savidor stations in about twenty-five minutes. Buses run across the city, the red light rail line is in service, and a bicycle or scooter works well along the coast. The beachfront and centre are made for walking.

Three days in Tel Aviv

Sea and port

Start at Gordon Beach, follow the promenade to the Tel Aviv Port and eat on the wooden deck. Rent a bike after lunch and ride back to Ben Yehuda street.

Jaffa and Neve Tzedek

Market and White City

Begin at Carmel Market for cheese and fruit, then walk Rothschild Boulevard among the Bauhaus buildings. Finish at Rabin Square and Dizengoff Square.
