Tel Aviv, Israel is located on the beach giving you a spectacular view of the Mediterranean. When you head south along the beach you will get a chance to see Jaffa an ancient port town. When you walk northwards you will find yourself in Ramat Aviv – the upscale neighborhood that is home to the university.
The beach is the area where many people enjoy spending their days in relaxation. There you will find people sunning, jogging, cycling, and just walking while enjoying the beauty of the day. The Tayelet is the beach promenade which stretches from the old harbor of Tel Aviv to Jaffa.
You will find all of Tel Aviv’s luxury hotels on Hayarkon as well as some great places to try a taste of the authentic food that they serve to tourists. All of the great souvenir shops and more eateries can be found on Ben Yehuda Street. Keep going south down this road and you will hit Allenby Street. You must stop here and check out all of the stores, bars, and clubs that make coming at night such a fun and lively place.
Neve Tzedek is a historic district, with pastel painted properties positioned along winding alleys and is now a sought after Tel Aviv address. Further south is Jaffa, one of Israel’s few mixed cities where Arabs and Jews co-exist. The old city of Jaffa is particularly quaint and is a popular spot for couples to have their wedding photos taken thanks to the surrounding gardens and sea views.
Some of the best museums and sites to see include the Rubin Museum, Bialik House, the Tel Aviv Aquarium, and Caesarea.
