Planning Your Time

With two to four days in Tel Aviv you can explore neighborhoods, museums, sites and still have time for the beach—where it's easy to spend a few hours in between sightseeing. Although it's not a huge area to cover, see the city in geographical order. Start with old Jaffa in the south, and amble through the art galleries, flea market, and fishing port. Jaffa's a good choice in the evening for strolling, low-key restaurants, and wine bars. From here, it's a quick walk north to see Neveh Tzedek. Check out the well-restored buildings, and catch a performance at the Suzanne Dellal Center at night. In the center of town, don't miss the Bauhaus buildings of The White City or Nahalat Benyamin market (on Tuesday or Friday). With more time, explore the north, and see the Diaspora, the Palmach, and the Eretz Israel museums, as well as Yarkon Park for rock-climbing, pedal-boating, or cycling. The Tel Aviv Port is the best place in town for trendy dining and nightlife.
